    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!
