Ceramic Tile

Staining

Remove the stain mark using a suitable commercial rust remover. Follow directions exactly and do not leave on surface very long as acid in many rust removers can etch the surface.

Delamination within the tile interlayers due to improper installation.

Replace affected tile with appropriate tile adhesive

Water penetration

Affected tiles should be removed and replaced with new tiles.
