Hi folks,
First post here, so be gentle; I was advised to come here from the MSE boards for some expert advice.
I can't resist a bargain and bought some 60x60 polished porcelain beige tiles from B&Q for an ensuite bathroom. After reading around, they appear to be from a Chinese manufacturer and people have had many problems with staining and watermarking.
Nightmare. However, they are bought now and I can't afford replacements that would look the same.
My question is - what should I do or tell my tiler to do to prevent any problems. Should I seal them before they are laid? If so, what product should I use? Any particular grout or adhesive?
What should I use to clean them?
Any other tips to minimise stress would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any advice,
divorcingjack
