Porcelain Refinish Repair questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, you can’t put new grout on top of old grout. Regrouting requires a smooth surface in order to fill in cracks, so you’ll have to remove the old grout first. If you don’t, your new grout won’t just look bumpy—it also won’t properly adhere. Once it cures, it will start to chip away, leaving you right where you started.
