Bathroom tile grout- does it have to be replaced?
![Anne](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/imgs-responsive/avatar-letters/avatar-A-FF8282.png?size=91x91)
Pieces of the grout in my bathroom tile is breaking up. Is there an easy way to repair it or does all the grout have to be replaced? If yes, how do I take it out?

Got new tiles recently, and noticed a crack in the grout across a few tiles. Tiles are directly beneath washing machine, so afraid there may be seepage. Thanks 😊
Hello Anne, Defective or crumbling grout can be removed with a grout saw. They can be found at any hardware store —it has replaceable blades.
yes you can repair it get all the loose grout out make up a batch out grout just enough for the area and follow directions on to use and there you go
Thank you!!!
