    Wink One sealer to seal: Polished porcelain, Honed Travertine & A Slate Hearth????

    Hi All

    I've just laid some polished black 600 x 300 porcelain tiles under a range cooker in a kitchen. Only 1.5 sqm

    In the living room I'm laying a one piece slate hearth 1300mm x 400mm.

    The bathroom is floor to ceiling honed travertine and needs sealing after 2 years.

    The splashback to the cooker is a glass mosaic with dark silicone which will also need sealing because of the exposure to grease splashes etc

    So the question is: Is there one product out there that will seal all of these? I have a Topps a 100m from here and they have recommended one for the porcelain that will cover 25 sqm but costs £32, one for the travertine - another £30+ etc etc. I'm not going to be doing that.

    Shelf life on many sealers once opened is less than a year so I've always ended throwing away massive bottles after a couple of years in the shed. Is there one (or at a push 2) products that will serve my purposes and cost £10ish each for a small bottle?

    Cheers

    CP

    ps the slate provider suggested using WD40 to get a nice strong dark finish on the slate- will this work?

    OR... anyone in or near Slough who could supply a mug full for the porcelain for a fiver?

    DRYTREAT Stainproof is a good one to use.

    Thank-you very much all. One of the LTP products claims to do all of the above and I'll have a look at the drytreat too. Cheers, CP
