Sealed marble showers still absorbing water?

3 years ago

Hello!


So I have three showers all tiled with marble. I've sealed them several times but they all have sections where they are constantly wet looking.


I'm wondering if this might be a deeper problem then just needing to seal the marble again.


I'm adding pictures of the current situation, and I have some pictures during the build process.


If anyone has any advice, it be super appreciated.







You can see the darker spots around the drain here:





And here is another bathroom with similar issues, you can see some darker spots near the linear drain:



And the base of the wall tile looks like it is soaking wet.

    Sealing doesn't completely prevent water from penetrating. That is not it's purpose. It may do more harm than good in the end, as it retards the stone from drying out.

    Sealer is designed to slow down the adsorption of stains. Nothing at all to do with water.
