Without the aid of a crystal ball, we can't be of help. A photo would be nice. Or at least tell us where this stain is?

I get a pink residue on my tiles - with 2 teens it's always in use and tends to be damp even with extractor on.
I believe it's a form of mould. Try removing it with a mould cleaner (Hagesan is good) and keep the room ventilated if possible. Bathrooms will tend to be prone to mould from damp though by their nature

You can use the orange and purple stuff* to get rid of the orange and pink stuff.




*Cillit Bang.

Is it leaking out of you, or originating elsewhere.

I know what you mean, I get it on the tile grout too. Any bleach based cleaner (Cillit Bang is good) will get it off. Squirt and give it a rub, leave for a minute or two and rinse off.

Could well be limescale- when we leaved in SE, our limescale was orange

Be kind, it says they are a newbie and we know that newbies can't post links...

I was being kind, all we need is more info: 'the stain is on the tiles/ceiling' etc.

We get this, too - pink stains on the grout, the seal round the bath, and at the bottom of the shower curtain. I'm thinking it may be something to do with the oils we wash off our skin/hair?
