Have a white grout which I'd dirty 

Can it be changed to grey or can the white be cleaned.

Can I get a quote to do this work ?

Tony.

You could try bleaching it, but in my opinion it's easier in the long run to go over the joints with a grout rake, then apply new grout on top.

You can get tubes of grout whitener from the likes of Mercadona, but it's a bit messy to use if you aren't a DIYer. Alternatively, just use a good cement based grout like Morcem Color, which is available in a large range of colours.

Thank you again Jim.

I was hoping you were looking for work, as you are not, all the more reason to thank you for your tips.

Regards.

Tony

Mix a thick paste with cheap toothpaste and a little Bicarbonate of Soda or bleach - use an old toothbrush to apply to the affected areas - leave for a few hours then rinse off - should bring back the white colour
