Hello,

We recommend you to remove the old tile and prepare the walls for the new tile where you need to use thin set mortar to install the tile.

This SKU: PEM0061 which does not need grout, but if the wall is not level then you will need a very little grout to cover that gap (non sanded grout).

Thank you.
