Hi Dave,no, it sounds affordable. Tend to use what I know. Looks like water off a ducks back after application. I'll tuck that one away for a showery day? Cheers

The Fila stuff by Topps I find is a good quality. The only problem is that the smallest quantity that they sell is 500ml bottles, for about £16. Sure, a bottle will go a long way (150m2 it says), so if you've any grout elsewhere that's pretty clean give that a seal too.
Topps did trial a smaller pen like sealer that Fila made but it was discontinued very shortly after.

Grouted the walls and floor yesterday and cleaned them or so I thought. Spent most of today trying to remove the residue. Tried scrubbing with water then Cif, only to see the staining when dry and looking at them at a certain angle in the light. The tiles are a glazed ( I think ) ceramic on the wall and a glazed porcelain on the floor. Being glazed I thought they would'nt need a protective sealer although annoyingly I sealed the stone border and had plenty of the stuff. Any suggestions for removing it ??
