I need to pull up some tile before adding new kitchen Floor Cabinets. Can I reuse any of those tiles or do I need to use new tiles to be set? The floor was installed before I bought the house and there are no replacement tile left.

Also, does Grout Colorants work to match new grout with existing or is this just a quick fix that will show after a short period of time?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you can get the old tiles up without them breaking then by all means reuse them. You probably will have to grind some old cement off the backside of the tiles after you get them up.

A good grout colorant will last a long time. The good thing about them is that it is also a sealer.
