    Default Heavily stained tiles

    I recently bought some black (not polished) tiles from B&Q, ive used fastset as adhesive & Grout. I finished cleaning down & all looked well. When i went in to fit shower the following day, there was a lot of residue on the tiles. It looks like some of it may have penetrated the pores of the tiles, as no matter how hard i scrub (with heavy duty scourers) it doesnt make a lot of difference. when the tiles are wet it looks perfect, however when it dries the greyish colour starts to show in areas. My question is. Is there a liquid, paint on, wet look sealer, i can use to give it the permanent wet look. can anyone recommend

    Try using a heavy duty tile cleaner available from most tile stockists. Follow the instructions on the reverse and you should be ok.
    There are some excellent products available at Tradetiler.com Home
    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!!
