Sealing floor tiles

CuppaCocoa · 2012-05-15 10:15:39

We put porcelein floor and wall tiles in our bathroom. They're a light grey in the shower and dark grey on the floor. They're fine in the shower but when we get water splashes on the floor tiles they leave little white rings when they dry! Should I/could I seal these or is there another solution?

Do the rings disappear?

Are you sure they are not sealed already?

Usually its over time unsealed tiles become obvious from traffic not really splashes.

But yes you can buy sealer in a tile shop to seal them.

A good quality porcelain tile should not need sealing.

Are they a matt, polished or honed finish?

Maybe you have hard water in your area do you get a lot of limescale in your kettle?
