Hi , Ive just laid a porcelain tiled floor in my bathroom , and am currently tiling the walls - again porcelain . The floor looks fine , - apart from the grout . I used a light grey flexible grout made by Ultra .
The problem is , although , Im pretty sure I mixed it right , the colour is inconsistent - light and dark areas . also , though its claimed to be water repellant , if water is spilled onto it , it turns darker , which says to me , its absorbing the water . I spoke to the guy in the shop , and he reckons the problems can only be from the mixing .
I need to decide on a coarse of action before grouting the walls . so far , Ive considered , scratching out the grout and starting again ( this time I`ll try a test area , where it wont be seen (hindsight !"!!) , sealing the floor grout , painting it , or buying a different make .
Any suggestions would be much appreciated - Ive spent months doing my bathroom up , and dont want to spoil it with what should be an easy job !!
