Can You regrout over Grout?
Regrouting over existing grout means the new mixture may not properly adhere to the tile edges, exposing the material to water and potentially harmful substances. Even if you plan to add grout just where it has cracked or separated, it’ll likely break away after some time and you’ll be back at square one.
Can caulking be used in place of grout?
Yes, you can caulk over grout as we already stated above. But, should you? Let’s first understand what actually is meant by caulk and grout. A caulk is nothing but a mixture of latex and silicone in definite proportions and is used to create bonding between an array of material like ceramic, metal, wood and glass.
The next thing we wondered was; is silicone required over Grout?
Silicone is advantageous to fill gaps over grout because it ensures watertight sealing. The sealing is so secure that it’s airtight as well! As a result, no bacteria can enter between the tile gaps. So, for tiles of your bathroom, the silicone would be perfect. Do you want to seal the gaps between tiles insensitive places?
Another frequently asked query is “Can Grout ever be too thick/dry?”.
One way to consider this is but if you make the mixture too thin, then the grout will dry off in a very long time and will break after they dry off. And making the mixture too thick will lead you to have the grout too heavy to reach the corners and make the tiles look dirty. So keeping it to the right texture is mandatory to ensure the fine work for your home.
How do you repair tile grout?

Use a hard-edged rubber grout float, and hold it 3 Hold the Grout Float at a 90-Degree Angle. Sweep the float diagonally across the tiles to remove the excess grout.
The next thing we wondered was: which grout is best for my tile?
