My boat has a pretty considerable amount of teak. About 6 years ago, it was all stripped to bare wood and coated with Cetol. It's been re-coated three time since. It's not in awful shape now, but there are places where it's worn through or is peeling. I think there's nothing to do but sand and scrape it all off and go back to square one.
I'm in the same spot and frankly I don't have time for perfect teak. I sanded down the bare spots and the peeling spots only and then put another coat of Cetol on. The bare spots are covered and protected now, but they're a lighter color then the rest of the teak. It's good enough for me. Next summer I'll put a few more coats on the lighter areas so they'll blend in better. Maybe when we're retired, we'll have perfect teak but for now, decent looking teak works for us.
