Can I replace small amounts of grout that are missing from a tiled floor (small little areas have somehow gone missing)? I do not want to pull the floor up or take out the grout, can I just patch these areas with a matching grout? This is not an area that gets a lot of moisture.

You can patch those areas. You will want to check for loose grout next to it and pull it out also. The patch may not match the surrounding grout but with time it should even up. You might want to find out why the grout is coming out. If it wasn't installed correctly, or there is some other problem, it will continue to happen.

Great - thank you! Is there any particular brand of grout (I need to get a tinted one) to use?
