I've asked about this before, but the situation is becoming a difficulty. The bathroom shop hasn't doen anything about it yet.
Dune Krakatoa tiles.
Litokol grout, Starlight additive.
Glitter in the grout so it had to be epoxy, apparently. I got the grout from a shop recommended by the bathroom company who did it.
Tiles were sealed with Lithofin stain-stop smelly stuff designed for the purpose.
The unused ones shown here are also sealed. It didn't change their colour.
There's a variation in the tiles on the sheets of course but ..
the grout seems to heve been smeared over and not got off - you can see that from the excess glittery bits.
Some of the individual tiles seem to have absorbed something making them dark on their edges, looking at this pic.
The overall effect is of them being blotchy, following the areas where the "tiler" did his grouting. Apparently he used white spirit to clean as he went, and it didn't work very well.
Some Lithofin Litonet the tile supplier provided with the tiles, wasn't used until he did a small skirting area sometime later, which looks a lot better. "Oh", he said, as he did it. "Is much better". Pity he didn't use it in the first place.
I've tried soaking/scrubbing with a stain remover designed for epoxy grout, and it does help, but not entirely.
What I can't decide is whether the discolouration is normal, or because of the way they did it.
In the wider pic, the light (more "correct") area goes across mat junctions, so I don't think it's the variation in the stones.
Suggestions on what to do ??! Does it look beyond cleaning? If so , we could either accept it, or sue the shop.......
