marks

Anyone seen this happen before? White marks on newly laid limestone tiles. Apparently not efflorescence. Appreciate any advice wondering if we should continue with sealing them? Thanks Claire

Hello everyone, my first post here. I have recently had these tiles laid: Classico Fleur Silver Pattern Tiles - https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/fleur-silver-tiles?web=1&wdLOR=cA29807BE-580F-4591-9014-1033D29BEF76 They are in my bathroom, on the floor of the wet room. They have always looked...

We had matt slate Regal tiles laid in our kitchen three years ago and they are starting to look really water damaged. We do use a non-abrasive floor cleaner but I think we might have damaged them somehow. Is there anything we can do/use to restore them? Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hi, I had my house tiled almost two years ago. The tiles themselves were not the best quality, just an affordable option, but my tiler did a good job. Now almost two years later some strange shadow looking stains have started appearing all over the tiles all over the house. It started with one...

Hi, We recently discovered some red Minton Hollins tiles in our hallway and we’d love to restore them. Some of the tiles have white cloudy marks on them, we have tried wiping these away with water and a very gentle cleanser but with no luck! Is there anything we can do to treat these? Thank you!

Hi, In the space of a couple of weeks my beautiful gray/ block stone bathroom tiles on the floor of the shower have developed white spotty patches in various locations. What are these marks ? Apparently we have soft water and thus it’s unlikely to be calcium or hard water stains. I did change...

Hello, I recently lifted some modern tiles to reveal the original Victorian Tiles (Actually dated late 30's but in the Victorian/Edwardian mosaic style). The previous owner had for some bizarre reason tiled over them. Sacrilege! With considerable effort, I've managed to clean off almost all of...

Hi all, I had my kitchen tiles about 10 days ago, using white marble effect 600x 600 tiles, we have electric UFH. I waited 7 days to properly turn it on. But last night I notice a couple of tiles have a shadow appearing, some are like a 4cm / 6cm oval shape but the largest as the pics attached...

In a couple of places on our terrace these white stains have appeared. Can this be easily cleaned without damaging the non slip porcelain tiles. The marks have the appearance of the type of calcium type build up from hard water. We have never put tap water on the terrace. Any advice gratefully...

Last week I had seven porcelain slabs of 120 x 260 cm installed on a wall in my house. A couple of days later I started noticing dark ring marks left by the suction cups used for lifting the tiles and fitting them on the wall. The tiles are 6 mm thick, glazed, and produced by Italgraniti (see...

I am finding light blotches on my bathroom wall tiles, they are ceramic from British Ceramic Tile. I fitted the tiles to the walls of my bathroom three months ago with Dunlop RX 2000, I used a notched trowel and back buttered every tile with a coverage of 100%. Grout is Dunlop as well. I...

Hi I’m looking for some advice regarding some limestone floor tiles we are laying. They are coming up with water marks that don’t seem to be drying after around 5 days. They were laid on a bed of white adhesive which is fully across the tiles not just the corners. The floor was coated with pva...

I have laid some black floor tiles which have a slightly textured semi-matt finish. They are as hard as any I have ever used and a B**** to cut but they are now down. To my horror they scuff very easily and where I fitted the toilet there are some marks in the tile surface. I am not sure if...

hi all, Had patio done 2 months ago by landscaping co. Slabs are Indian Sandstone ‘Raj Green’. They were varied Autumnal colours prior to grouting, browns/reds/yellows.. Problem is there is a picture frame effect in & around the grout lines. The slabs are bone dry but look wet around the...

Hi guys, I recently had an indian sandstone patio installed, it looked great until I tried to seal it. After sealing I have been left with faint white spots on the slabs. I used a flouropolymer sealant which I put down on saturday. I believe this has been caused by the slabs not being fully...

doing a bit of retro cutting today on porc tiles to fit a led strip light in a recess, scratched all of a tile with my grinder guard, any ideas how to remove? Nightmare!

Hello, Last summer I had a black limestone patio laid. Pretty much straight away white marks showed up on it. I assumed I’d be able to clean them off but I was wrong… I have read various posts on this forum which have been helpful however I’m a bit lost for what my next step should be. I...

We have had 4 square meters of polished porcelain tiles laid in our bathroom. These ones from Homebase. The Website says they need sealing so I bought some LTP MPG sealer and applied it as per the instructions. When buffing, the surface turns to greasy, smeary mess - the transit wax problem? My...
