Dark patches appearing on limestone floor tiles after laying and sealing

Can't really say alot more than has been said already, incorrect fixing method, grey adhesive instead of white, this is why you have your problem. You must call your tiler back as this is his responsibility. I hope you get a favourable outcome, all the best.

:welcome: - who supplied the 'tiler' or was he recommended and did you receive an Invoice.
First place will be to try and get him back or show him the pictures - hopefully he will be of the right moral conduct and admit his error.

Very Good Luck - its going to cost someone a bit of money.

I totally agree with Kilty, the floor needs to come up sooner rather than later, the tiler (and I use the term loosely) has to step up to the plate and admit that he is totally 100% at fault. Jonathan you need to jump on this post haste, do not listen to excuses, get a recorded letter off straight away, with the photographic evidence. Also state that you are giving them 3 days to respond and rectify, and if he doesnt respond start legal proceedings.

This workmanship is deplorable, I would be raising hell....(hold a minute I do that most days!).

Buggered best to remove and while your at it remove the original ceramics

Ouch. Not good, all excellent advice above. Be quick, be comprehensive and don't take no for an answer. The grey adhesive on its own is bad enough but DnD for a limestone floor.... There is plenty of support for you here from professionals who know what they are doing. Good luck.

~wrong adhesive
~wrong "method" (it isnt even a method, its DIY standard at best)
~incorrect substrate. It is not recommended to tile Natural Stone over old ceramic tiles. Again DIY standard, and thats being generous.

Did the tiler offer to remove the old ceramics?

 

[jay]

just wondering whats the substrate .timber or concrete

OMG as above, get the "TILER" back, spot technique:yikes: never heard dot and dab called that before. This guy is trying to put a fancy name to cowboy practice. Good luck
