I have been to see another tilers customer tonight regarding "tile staining".
On arrival I met a lovely woman who couldn't praise her tiler enough. I was shown the area in question, a small wet room tiled in 8"x8" British Ceramic Tile Matt White Finish. Nice job until the client sprayed the shower over the walls to reveal blue, vien-like staining across tiles on two walls.
On closer inspection I noticed at the center of each "vien stain" was a hairline fracture in the glaze which I assume is letting water through and causing the biscuit of the tile to stain temporarily.
Has anyone else had a problem with this tile as no-one seems to have an anser and clearly the situation needs resolving.
Personally, I have got nothing to do with the job in question but as an outsider looking in, Id like to help everyone concerned.
I have attached some pictures
