For those tiles I'd suggest Mapei Ultracolorplus in Beige, ref 132. If you want grey, Mapei do a few different shades so you need to look at their swatches. I'd also make sure he removes all the old grout not just the top layer and that he uses a proper grout float. These materials are stocked at Tile Giant shops and other places.

He needs to remove all or as much as possible of the old grout, not just the top layer. Any recognised tile shop should have a decent stock of proper grout - Mapei / Bal are just a couple of names mentioned here but any make should do so long as it is from a tile shop and not a DIY "shed" like Homebase. He will need a rubber grout float and although a washboy has been mentioned, I dont suppose he will want to pay for one for just 1 job, so a goot fine sponge and plenty of buckets of clean water.
Good luck
