I had a new porcelain tile floor installed in my kitchen and the grout is disgusting. Can I paint it a different colour, re-grout it myself or what? Love the tile, hate hate hate the grout.

Yes, you can paint the grout. Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, and Ace hardware sell grout paint and paint pens..... http://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/walls/grout-color-change-10507435 ***** http://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/q-changing-grout-color-on-already-sealed-grout-9061397

Is it hard to remove the grout and do it over again?
Absolutely! You'll end up with the look you love, you got this!
You could paint it using an artist brush, or you can buy a coloured strip on a reel from ebay abd probably other places to do the job.
It's pretty easy to paint with a paint pen, so I would absolutely paint it!
Go ahead and paint it. Grout paint is available.
Do you know if your grout is sealed or not?
Yes, you can color the grout, when done seal it.
I painted mine in 2020 (1/2 bath floor) and it still looks great. So I would try the paint first.
