tile shade on shower tray.

[Allyc]

Hi guys . I've been tiling for 12years now and have came across this 3 or 4 times. The tile that is cut into the shower tray a different shade. Just the bottom row on top of shower tray. But when it was tiled the shades where all the same . Its a ceramic tile. Have any of yous came across this.

Wash more often then your tiles wont be so dirty when you shower

After the shower has been used or after fitting/grouting?

A couple of pics could be good but it sounds like moisture creeping into the back of the tile.....

Yep, water is getting in to the back of the tile, I'll wager its a red-biscuit ceramic too, Fix the leak and it should dry out eventually

Thanks guys Will check to see if any leaks . Cheers

As Tommy.
Your not sealing behind and in front of the bottom row with a rubber silicone sealant!
