My bathroom tiles are 50 years old and were subjected to leaks and neglect throughout the first 30 years of their life. I just dug out any grout that seemed loose and squirted a tube of super glue into the gaps between any tiles that appeared loose, then replaced the missing grout. Grout sealer would have minimized this damage, but it was repairable. It is particularly useful on tiles that were installed between 1950 and 1990, during which plywood was often used as a substrate. The nicest thing about sealing grout is that if it's maintained, the grout lines tend to become filled in, which reduces the amount of dirt they collect. My floor is now almost as flat as linoleum.
