Default re-grouting - dig it out or is there an easier way?

Our new bathrooms at work have the grout coloured with a grout paint
from day one,
presumably to make it super-white, so it appears to work.
Whether its so good on old greasy grout I'm not so sure. They are
cheap so its
worth a try. Raking out is best, but its not a nice job, and hard not
to slip and damage
the tiles.


Totally agree. I've tried a pen thingy in a tenanted property not long
ago, and when the tenants left after about 9 months it still looked OK.
So, probably worth giving it a go at least and you can judge whether
the effort of a proper job will be worth it next time.
