    Default tile replacement

    just wondering if anyone had tips on grouting round replaced tiles. matching it up to the existing grout. ive got to replace a broken tile, and the grout is a dark grey/charcole. i have 3 different greys in my garage, but non match exactly. even if it did, the new grout would still look new compared to whats down now.do i need to regrout the whole floor?

    It will be almost impossible to match up if the flor has been down any length of time, as dirt will ingrain in the grout and alter its colour slightly. Also certain cleaning products will leach the colours out.
    Explain this to the customer and my course of action would be, use the nearest one as with time the same action will apply to this new grout and "match"it in

    personally mate i would replace the tile then re-grout the whole floor,bit more time consuming,bit more expensive BUT a better end result on the floor
