New Tiled Floor Problem, Advice Please? - Tile Advice

[Sloter]

Hi,


So I’ve recently bought a new house and I’ve got some problems with the tiling on the ground floor.

I’ve got some 600 x 600 porcelanosa tiles laid and it’s been grouted with a light grey grout on a concrete slab floor. I’ve got some patches of grout that look like someone has poured water onto the grout in parts. It just looks wet.

I have had the tiling company back to the house and they say it’s just moisture and it will dry however the tiling was done about 4 months ago and I’ve been in the house for 7 weeks and it’s not getting any better. Is this right has anyone else come across this or does it sound like something else could be the problem? I can post pictures if needed?

Pictures will ALWAYS help (well depends who's taking them!)

OK I'll take some tonight and post them. Thanks

Are they polished porcelain?

Are they polished porcelain?

No they are called Zone Natural so not the polished ones.

Hopefully that worked, what do you think?

Grout looks very patchy .
Any pipe work under the floor?

 

[Sloter]

I really don't know. I'll need to ask the builders but they seem very cagey about it all. Do you think it looks like water underneath the tiles?

Try sandpaper and see if helps
