Just laying large format 80x80 porcelain tiles on underfloor heating with 2mm grout line in my place. Also laid on Durabase isolation layer.
Any advise on Grout Type and Colour. My preference is a colour that merges in with the tile colour rather than contrasting it.
The tiles are very light...

So I’ve recently bought a new house and I’ve got some problems with the tiling on the ground floor.
I’ve got some 600 x 600 porcelanosa tiles laid and it’s been grouted with a light grey grout on a concrete slab floor. I’ve got some patches of grout that look like someone has poured water...

Has anybody stained existing grout to make it darker? I have a charcoal grout which is actually quite light and the tiles are a slate grey. Happy to take my time to stain the grout.
If?possible how long will it last? And is this suitable in a shower area as well as a dry area?
Any...
Hi,
A while back I did my first tiling job (DIY). I'm quite pleased with it.
One problem I had was that I used a textured tile, and I found it quite hard to remove all the grout from the tile when cleaning up.
I used too much water and as a result the grout I used (grey) has become washed...
