are you saying you've sanded down with sandpaper, if so this is the reason you have dull tiles, if they were filled with grout they should have just been wiped down.

WetDec will be along shortly I reckon....

For my two-penneth, if the floor isn't huge I would work my way through a range of sand papers - start with fine grade and work through to extra fine / wet&dry to give a uniform finish. Clean away all dust and slurry and seal properly with a good quality penetrating sealer.

If the floor is large, then it may be best to call in a professional!

Hi Margaret
Where do you live? If there is someone local to you they might be willing to pop round and offer some advice.

Hey Gaz, sand paper is the way forward - didn't you know!!!
