Coloured grout stained toilet bowl
jee
Posts: 288 Forumite
My tiler poured the remains of charcoal coloured grout down the toilet and it's stained horribly. I've tried pouring bleach and leaving it overnight or everytime it's flushed but it's not really helping.
Any ideas of how to shift it?

Plunge or siphon (:eek:) some water out and bleach again but more concentrated.
Maybe a sulphuric acid drain cleaner, drain buster etc, would remove the stain, they are normally safe on potsI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Ask the tiler to come back and sort it out.
Surely what he did is a stupid and lazy thing to do? He should have disposed of the stuff properly.0 -
Get the tiler back to sort it out!! Has he been paid?0

Are you sure it's not just grout debris lying at the base of the bowl?0

Unless the glaze has been severely scratched the answer is no its not just grout debris. The grout has probably stained limescale residue that has built up in the bowl. Shift that and you'll shift the grout too.

I'm with the others, if your sure its down to the plumber give him a call and get him back.Thoughts:

Try rubbing the stain / limescale / grout with a pumice stone -
it won't hurt the ceramic finish, will remove the limescale and may shift the grout if that's what it is - :cool:C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down.
