I used to use soveriegn tubbed and had no issues with it, sovereign make a lot of additives etc for building and they all do what they say on the tin

is that a paint on or a membrane TT?

I use the Gold Star tubbed for splashies - lovely to spread, it's brilliant white, sets quick so you can grout the same day and will fix to timber
I also use Porcelflex grey and white which is a bagged single part flexible rapid set - again excellent product.
Just used there mould resistant grouts recently and they're not bad either.but stay well away from their standard grouts
Thir Stone Sealer is tremendous![]()

I wouldn't change my adhesive on cost alone as the other factors in that choice are too important.
I 'am aware of a bathroom co. 4 years ago who had an account for this brand of adhesive and I put the emphasis on had!
Try the samples but monitor their use.
I only mention this as I don't believe the problem was satisfactorily resolved for them.
Just seen Merles post and have to agree - I find their white grout very good ad their stone seal is first class.
To the extent that my mind did not relate these products with their adhesives!
