Just a quick update! Not sure if this rules out certain issues but when grout is wet the colour seems to come back, any thoughts? Thanks

Any update on this.?

Yeah, grout is now almost 100% White, only a few parts are Jasmine although when wet most turns Jasmine, thing is now it's White I actually quite like it that way Phoned Tiler who said give it a day or two and if not happy he will cone around a rake out.Would it be possible for him to rake out the jasmine patches only and keep the White or would Jasmine eventually leach through?

 

[DHTiling]

Jasmine is an off white'ish colour anyway.. so sounds ok to me..

Thanks for the update..

Thanks for all the help and advice, just installed shower screen today so starting to come together, just need to skim Walls and get floor tiles down and clean up wall tiles of grout haze (which is VERY labour intensive!!)

 

[DHTiling]

Use a grout haze remover..

 

[Kieron79]
