Please help. Got kota brown limestone paving for patio & front of house. Builders used Geo Fix. Tiles looked lovely before then a day or two after grouting badly stained really awful pic attached. I hope this is reversible job done less than a week. I tried a mop, soap and water very minute difference. Can I try something else? Most grateful if anyone can advise getting stressed. jm

Hello Jean, is this grout/ adhesive staining? hard to tell from pics:welcome:
 
Hi Phil I don't know all I know is they look fine until the geo fix went on and dried although it still does not seem to be 100% dry and some tiles are moving slightly. I attach two more pic one before grout and after close up. They may not be better. Thank you for any help. jm

Geo-fix is a good product but was any sealer applied to prevent staining from the geo-fix when brushed over the flags to fill the joints..and has it rained since the geo-fix was applied.
 
Hi Dave no sealer applied and yes it has rained not downpours but some short showers. Jm
 
Can you attach some images with a bigger format size.. those are a tad small to see the issue..
 
OK will take with camera that was phone it's raining now so you can't see problem. Will upload asap. Thanks Jm
