    Default Grout for polished porcelain tile in bathroom floor and shower walls

    Hi,

    A newbie here. Just looking for advice on best type of grout to use for our ensuite. We used the same dark grey polished porcelain tile on the floor and shower area. Would like a grout not prone to mould or discolouration in a silver grey colour. Any brand you could recommend?

    Thanks!
