johntan2005 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2008 My contractor bought the wrong color tone and now my yard toilet wall tiles are in different tones from the original tiles. the difference can be quite obvious as the original is slightly blueish white and the color my contractor bought is very white. affected area is about 12 pieces. what can i do if not going to redo the wall tiles? wallpaper (has to be water proof as its washing machine area)? paint? any bleaching treatment for ceramic? not sure if the color tone will change over time if i just leave it. any advise is appreciated.

johntan2005 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2008 Why should you pay for his mistake? actually its nobody's fault, today i went down personally to get the tiles, still could not match the original tile color. the previous batch was made in vietnam, now this batch is made in malaysia although they are the same tile code! i guess my last resort is overlay with new tiles or make do with the 'featured' wall haha...

BoonPin85 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2008 this situation always happens in white horse as they don't keep so much stock at their warehouse and u will easily see the different of two tones when u noticed that tiler already lay on as tilers themselves lazy and check the tonality of the tiles..................so if next time, when approach to White Horse check with them..whether are they have the sufficent tiles for replenish......
