[QUOTE="Dan, post: 990378, member: 1"] Generally you tank/waterproof the walls before tiling. The tiles are then just for the looks. Sealing them will work but can fail over time with using bathroom cleaners on them. Marble and stone change colour when wet but they dry out fairly quick too. I don't mind stone changing colour as long as it had time dry out. It's stone its what it does. 6mm silicone bead only around the corners or where tile meets any other material type as expansion and retraction can occur. Go down the sealer and silicone route now though. But might need strip and reseal every couple of years maybe? I think [USER=60908]@Kastar UK[/USER] mught be able to help soon but it would involve international shipping but I think its basically the fix for exactly this? (Grout wise) impervious stuff [USER=60908]@Kastar UK[/USER] ? [/QUOTE]
