    As daft as it might sound, it's not adhesive / old grout that hasn't been cleaned off the tile before re-grouting.

    I used my fien grout remover tool once, I must have chipped the tile as I was called back to 'bleeding' in the grout, a sort of brown/pink colour.

    once had some staining appear on grout, we think it was coming from the wbp! as we'd ruled everything else out
