    Hi,
    Some tiles just went in there and the grout (silver grey) seems much lighter than what we had seen in the shop and doesn't look great to be honest.
    I am half wondering did the tiler use the wrong grout, but couldn't say for sure.

    Is there anything that can be done to correct this? any kind of staining etc.?

    Thanks...

    I would actually be interested in an answer to this also. We had some wood-effect tiles laid a while back in an en-suite and the grout is a lot lighter than we hoped. I had considered masking taping the tiles up and applying some kind of stain but don't want to make a pigs ear out of it. Unfortunately I don't really have a test-patch area that I could use either.
