Tiny sharp pieces of metal in the grouting - TilersForums.com

[Simsam]

Hi

Tilers completed floor tiles in our ensuite bathroom. On cleaning the floor, we've noticed tiny sharp pieces of metal in the grouting. Could this be from tile spacers, and if so how can we remove them? Any advice would be soooo appreciated - we've had nothing but problems with our new house tiling and would like to correct this ourselves if possible.

Many thanks

Thanks for replying Dave. No tile trim used.

Ok , just thought it might be tiny pieces from cutting trims.
Is it metal or maybe tile bits. ?

Think it’s definitely metal, they’re really sharp spikes. Can’t make out why!

Yes, think we'll have to report it to site manager (new build). We've had so many problems, had to have all the floor tiling in all areas redone. Been without kitchen island and hob since last December when they retiled large area downstairs and ran out of tiles.........!! Been an absolute nightmare!!
