Grout going dark
Hi every one, tiled a bathroom about three weeks ago and grouted with a bal superflex ivory grout. I got a phone call from the customer saying it is going dark in places, so i will be going to have a look tomorrow. Any ideas why this is, and what course of action to be taken if any. Most appriciated.

Re: Grout going dark
That was my first thought. Another reason might be something to do with the substrate?

Re: Grout going dark
my first thought also being wet, did you use grey adhesive?

Not sure if you have popped back on to see these replies.. Did you use a tubbed adhesive, if this is si, then it might not have been dry and it is moisture leaching through the joints from the adhesive..
