Default porcelain tiles bleached any suggestions?

black textured porc tiles were heavily soiled on site cleaned all builders dust of them etc but the acid used to remove the heavy stains has bleached the tiles they now look patchy white in places this is not excess grout as the tiles are spotless up close you can actually see the pigmentation has faded are there any polishes or colourings out there that can help me
