    Grouting for fireplace chamber?

    Hi, I've tiled the inside of a fireplace chamber, off-white herringbone marble. A labour of love but that's another story. It'll eventually have gas stove fitted, no open fire. Have used heat-resistant adhesive, what should I be looking for when buying grout. Only white needed. Thanks much.

    Advice: grouting quality?

    Had tiles laid a while a go and grout was really patchy and pin holes. Tiler final come back ( didn’t come due to covid) He removed the dark patches of grey grout and put a slurry on top. This is how it’s been left, I can scrap the slurry out with my nail and still have patchy areas
