Q. We had mosaic marble tiles installed in our bathroom about a month ago and recently noticed the tiles about 12 inches around the toilet were a darker gray color than the rest of the floor due to a leak in the wax seal when the toilet was replaced. The tiles were not wet to the touch, the leak was underneath the tiles. Do you think the darker colored tiles will lighten back up over time once the area dries up, and if so, how long might it take? It has been 2 days since the leak was fixed and the tiles are still dark. Could the tiles have been stained by the water mixing with the thin set underneath, and if so, is there a cleaner that might whiten the tiles again, or will the tiles need to be replaced in this area?
