Bct, Laura Ashley, Mr Jones floor tiles discoloured after a few weeks - TilersForums.com

Is it the adhesive coming up through the tile maybe?

Thanks for all the replies. That's really helpful and rather shocking that this happens. Do you have any recommendations for decent brands that do proper floor tiles in this sort of style? Several of our local tile shops have these displayed as floor tiles so I am reluctant to ask them!

Just stick to porcelain to be safe, we've just ordered Art Nouveau gredos

Did you get this resolved with British Ceramic Tile. I have got this problem, within matter of days most of tiles got darker. Only 3 or 4 nice and white. I complained and today told me not their responsibility. I have told homebase I want a refund so waiting to hear.
Disgusting they can sell these.

Yeah we did, first of we had it redone and they paid, but it happened again so we settled for a pay out and went elsewhere it was tile giant that sorted it out for us after a long time and many complaints in the end we wrote the CEO of tile giant and we went for these which are porcelain

Love those, where are those from?

That's what I want to do, I want a refund and some compensation if possible. I don't want any more as clearly not fit for purpose. BCT are saying will only replace loose ones but the floor is all laid so I am going to tell Homebase they must refund me regardless.
It sounds incredible when you say a floor tile is getting darker after laying but that literally is what is happening to most of them.
Thank you for replying .
