    Default Help - Slate Tiles

    Just gettina tiling job from a customer, and the previous tiler has layed the balck slate tiles down in brick effect and when he's grouted the slate tiles and he has not coated/sealed the slate tiles.

    So now the slate tiles are all now black -grey and whitish in colour.


    When the customer called the the orignal tiler, he came back and used tiler cleaner and it has still not worked, So now he gone off the face of the earth!!!!!!!!!!

    so what im askin now is, What product on the market will get rid of these grey n whitish marks and bring back the black gloss shiney effect back to the tiles??????

    Please help
