Hi DIYers!
I hope someone can help me. A couple of years ago I had my shower ripped out and replaced and all has been well until recently. I've noticed that some of the bottom tiles in the shower have turned a sort of blueish colour! The tiles are pearl white (gloss) and yet some of them have changed colour (as you can see in the attached image - the tiles within the red area).
At first I thought this was rising damp behind the tiles (I hope not!), but if so, why does the colour change for a whole tile, and in some cases, for a whole row of tiles? Why not change halfway - surely damp/mould is not that orderly!
I'm at a loss as to what this is, and I think we could have a serious damp problem, because the shower and tiles before were rotten, so we had them all ripped out and replaced, but I'm worried that maybe the builders did not allow time for the walls to dry out...
Any help/suggestions appreciated!
