Discuss More rubbish from B & Q in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Just finished a shower room using 50 x 20 cm Cortese Blanc satin that the customer got from B & Q fixed using Weber spf white yesterday, returned this morning to grout,started to grout and notice a lot of dark shading all around the edges of the tiles some were even a lot darker over the whole tile did show the customer and they were happy for me to continue,the only thing I can think off is there must of been bleed thru from the adhesive or water stain from the washing of the tiles,so just like you chaps to be aware of this problem if you come across these tiles,apparently the customer thinks these are a new range I have told him to complain but I expect that will fall on deaf ears,just glad the customer was so amicable about it I had visions of me ripping them all off,they also cut badly very ragged edge when cut on a dry tile cutter did use the angle grinder which I am glad I did dread to think what they would of looked like if I used my wet cutter.

Just down to the biscuit of the tile... looks bad but unavoidable sometimes, this is where a fast setting grout can help..

My son has just tiled a floor for his nanna and they were B&Q poo and the sizing from tile to tile was 3mm at worst... so some jigging if joints was required to make it look acceptable.. he had fun.. welcome to the world of the tilers son :lol:
