last yearWe are having large white tiles, stacked in lines (not brick layout), and floor tiles are a mix of greys so am considering grey grout for both the white tiles and the flooring but I can't visualise it. I need to search for some pictures to reassure myself I'm not making a mistake. I'll post the floor tiles we think we're getting. Nothing special just B&Q. Do you think mid grey grout would go?

Comments (3)Glass panels are the easiest to keep clean. You can have some with pattern and colour on the back of glass, so it doesn't look boring....See MoreTiling Disaster
Comments (18)If the grout was supposed to be white but has come out grey then there is either an issue with the grout or this is as I described before. I certainly wouldn't use a grout pen until you have looked at cleaning the residue from it. If this is polymer residue then the grout pen would only stick to this so would probably wear off and become patchy. If there is an issue with the grout then you should speak to the manufacturer, this does happen on occasions and they will check it if they are a reputable company. Who was the grout manufacturer? Email Ceramica is the group of companies which Viva belongs to. So I suspect that this is the tile I mentioned. I know the tile as we sell it, the tile is very good quality. Speaking as a tiler with 18 years experience if the grout was grey and has come out white then it can only be the issues I have described. Cleaning should definitely be your first option....See MoreTub be or not tub be...
Comments (73)I think it looks great so far. Many of the ads for claw foot tubs, and magazines, show them with encaustic/cement tile and plain white surround. Also, you did something creative and attractive with the tile layout. I love the nickel shine of your clawfoot legs too. If you can maybe get a corner shelf on one side of the wall, you'll have a place for soap, candle or bubble bath. And maybe hotel towel holder on another wall to get the height up.

Comments (80)A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years....See Moreminnie101
last yearYou could look at epoxy grout, it isn't porous like a cement grout so virtually stain resistant. It’s a lot more expensive than traditional grout but may be worth discussing with your tiler. I think the white version may have a tendency to yellow over time though
Here’s some stacked tiles with grey grout if it helps
