[QUOTE="jburnett, post: 505302"] Hi all, I'm really hoping you can give me some advice. I've just had my kitchen floor tiled in light grey Jura limestone tiles. The tiler fixed them on top of the existing ceramic tiles with Setaflex grey adhesive using the "spot" technique rather than a solid bed. Some areas where there were no ceramic tiles were levelled using a self levelling compound. In some area the tiler used white adhesive from BAL because he'd run out of grey Setaflex. All the tiles were left for between 48 and 72 hours before a first coat of sealer called Dry Treat Damp Proof was applied. Within a couple of hours dark patches started to appear on the surface of all the tiles, with the exception of those laid on the self-levelling compound and on the white BAL adhesive. That was about a week ago and the patches haven't changed appearance at all since. Are these patches ever going to fade? Is the limestone stained forever? Should the tiler have used white adhesive all over? Any advice really, really welcome as neither the tiler or the supplier of the stone/adhesive seems willing to take responsibility. I'm stuck in the middle and have had to cancel the kitchen fitter in case the whole floor needs to be replaced. Thanks all. Some photos attached. Julian [/QUOTE]
