Tile & Grout Work


I am having a discoloration problem with the grout in a new remodeled bathroom. the tile used was a Venice Marfil 12 x 18 wall with a sanded Almond Grout color. the first horizontal grout joint is 8" +/- above the tub and continues to turn a dark brown color. We have regrout twice already
and the dark brown returns in this joint only. Has anyone else experiecnced this.

Thanks Pat

A few questions:

Does it turn dark around the entire tub or only in a certain spot?

Is there a tub/shower door with wall mounted jambs?

Has the grout/tile been sealed?

Does it dry out after use or stay dark?


Pictures would also help.
