I've just used Tilemaster grout 3000 (natural grey) on the walls and floor of my own wetroom install. I left it for 3 days before sealing it and another 2 days before using it. After use it is leaching black dye quite badly, is this normal and will it eventually stop? I have asked Tilemaster for their opinion but not had a reply yet but hopefully they will.
Grout 3000 leaching dye.

Sounds similar to a problem that was had with bal ebony grout .
What are the tiles ?
What are the tiles ?
Porcelain, polished on wall, mat on floor. The grout was streaking black while I was mixing it come to think of it, but it looked ok after giving it a good mixing.

I dont know grout 3000 says but did you mix by hand or with a whisk , did you use the correct amount of water ,

Also did you mix twice? I used Grout 3000 charcoal today with no issues

The reason i ask about the water is that bal problem was It dried to quick so want hydrated for long enough so every time it got wet it leached . Their answer was spray the joints with water then cover in plastic to keep them wet . Can't remember precise details .

I've used loads and loads of Natural grey 3000 (very good colour) and had zero issues with it.
At first thought it does sound like poor mixing but Tilemaster support their products well and I'm sure they'll help out.
