BAL grout just discoloured my white tiles

[JackSpratt]

I can't believe it !! My 'perfect'ly tiled shower has been checker boarded whilst grouting !!

All my white tiles were white - now some are bluey white.

Anyone else had this problem ??

What are/were your tiles? Ceramic / glazed / porcelain / sealed / unsealed / marble / travertine ???

 

[JackSpratt]

They are glazed white ceramic

 

[daddym]

i'd suggest then that the glaze is rubbish and porous.
Where did you get them from?
I have successfully used Lithofin cement residue remover to clean grout stains before.

thanks - where do you get that from ?

 

[daddym]

from a local hardware place but I think some of the large DIY stores stock it also.

you can order it online too, i always reccomend them and keep a good supply handy, it is by far the best i have come across, no i dont work for them

The tiles were from Topps Tiles.

Thanks for the replies I really hope that stuff works !
