Hi,
We bought a house built in the 80's and the tile job in the bathroom shower area looks about that old. I don't mind the tiles, but they are brown and have water deposit build up that I can't seem to get off. Any advice on how to make them shiny like new? Also, near the tub, the grout has fallen out between some of the tiles. Do I have to re-grout the entire shower area, or can I grout around just the ones that need it? How hard is it to match grout? This is brown.

Thanks all you knowledgeable people! :o)

Ask at home depot for a suitable cleaner, CLR , or something.
I find grout hard to match, I think it would always look like a patch job.
You can get a grout remover, kind of like a small knife/file to remove some of
The grout, enabling you to regrout in another colour. You'd get it done in a day,
(cleaned, scraped and regrouted)
