I have tried all the suggestions Perini - didn't look purple in real life. Tile Boutique - no purple floor tiles at all. All all the lots and lots of other places = no purple floor tiles. Yes I have seen purple glass mosaics almost everywhere but I don't want small mosaics on the floor. Will also cost $55 sqm more to have grouted than a regular size floor tile. Looks like I'll just have to do boring grey as it's the trend but I have at least found one with sparkles if I can't have purple. I'm also amazed at reactions of the tile sales people - questioning, surprise, snobbery and happiness to be trying to look for something that is different. Cant' say I can't find purple, I have but with a 10 to 14 week wait to be ordered from O/S and lots of $$$ but I need to reno the bathroom by then so can't wait. Motto: If you have time and money can do anything.

Good idea....tomorrow i will put some sample cards next to the tile and see what colour matches up best...I will also post a photo on here and have you guys help me ouf if that's okay :)) In about 5 minutes I will be posting up a post about coloured roof tiles - Would LOVE your help if you can find the post on here....Thanks guys! :)

Hi Pam, I have regrouted shower recess in the past. It was quite easy to get the fretting grout out using a grout removing tool from Bunnings etc. made the job easy. A bit harder on any grout that is good but a mainly scoured that rather than complete removal. The regrouting I found a physically hard the not technically difficult. It made a huge difference, freshened up the look. Once dry, I think I left it for a week (to be sure to be sure). Then scrubbed the tiles clean and gleaming. Then had the whole thing professionally re sealed - he put in a bead of something around the shower base to really make sure it was water tight, then did the sealant. It then sparkled and was easy to clean. At the same time we put in new taps, changed the glass and put in a new vanity and cistern on the toilet. The whole job was under $2000 (including trades plumber and glas installer ) but the difference it made I think was worth it. Our house had been on the market close on three years. The next buyer through after completion bought it. Who knows but it did make a huge difference and I was even a bit sad to leave it. I don't know what I didn't do it for myself years before

Hi J E, This is a common dilemma. Is there any chance you could view the tile under the light you are proposing to use? You have mentioned you are using White LED downlights. Do you know what colour rendering the LED downlights are going to be (eg: 3000k, 4000k, 5000k)? If your builder is specifying the lights then it would be to your advantage to ask to borrow one prior to installation. They usually have a plug on them, which means you could plug it in to a normal power point and view your tile beneath it. You may want to ask for different colour rendering options also so that you get exactly what you want. Hope this helps :)
