Bathroom shower tile

11 years ago

Freaking out a bit because our shower tile is finally going in today, but I'm afraid that a mistake was made somewhere. The field and accent tile are from the same company, are supposed to be the same white, but I feel like they're not. We've been waiting for it for over a month and now I don't know what to think! We will be doing a light gray grout. Will that make it better?

Clearly not the same.

Did no one open the boxes to verify correct product prior to install?

Did you see these 2 tiles together in a showroom?

Whether one matches the tub or not, the two tiles are supposed to match. I looked at samples that matched, so now we will compare the manuf. samples to what we received. The tub looked white until the tile went in, so I'm not sure what to do about that. I am holding off on grouting until we can decide where to go from here. Overall just devastated this isn't working out.

Do the accessories detract enough? I hung the shower curtain on a screw. Any thoughts? I have to decide tomorrow, keep it up or take it all down.
