We just go a new bathroom fitted and all walls tiled in a white satin tile, including inside the shower enclosure. After just 4 uses, the tiles inside the shower cubicle turned a grey colour around the edges, both where it was grouted and along the edges sealed with silicone. I guess it must be water getting into/behind the tile? If left for long enough the tiles will dry and return to the white colour. It happens everywhere where the water from the shower gets to. You can hold the showerhead in one tiled spot and after 20 seconds you can see the discolouration happen. We have had both the owner of the tile shop that sold us the tiles and the tiler have a look at it. The tile shop owner tries to blame it on poor workmanship and the tiler on the materials (tiles, grout and adhesive were all bought from the same shop). We've had other people comment on how good the tiling job looks, and at closer inspection of the tiling and grouting I can't see how it could be poor workmanship - unless he did something wrong underneath. So, the big question is, is it possible to say what/who is at fault and do we have any other option but to rip out and replace all the tiles?
