blue water staining - Tile Advice

[J Sid]

Anyone tell me how to remove, if possible, blue water staining of marble tiles in a shower.
A job i did a year ago which the builder informs me has this problem, not see it myself yet.

Charging credit card?

I'm assuming the stain is soaked in them? So you may only now be able to prevent it from getting worse with a sealer that isn't impregnating? (Total guess lol)

Can you remember what the substrate was and what adhesive would have been used?

a plumber told me it was the copper and flux reaction. I'm sure Lithofin do something but not sure if it's ok for marble.
haven't see the extent of the problem, may be only staining the white grout.

Hi all, back off hols, I would try firstly a mild alkaline generals tone cleaner If you have one, dilute as instructed, test with awhile pad

you could also try a midew product, us hg ltp do one this can often take an organic stain away, need to test , or if an oxide, a NON ACIDIC ( we have rust ex) rust remover may be a possibility . May be a problem on polished
