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.
