For tiling within a shower and kitchen areas above the sink. Not massive areas but want something decent. Looking for a grey (or similar) grout to go with white metro tiles.

I used some Mapei stuff a couple of weeks ago on metro tiles in a kitchen. Looked nice enough, but it does go dark when wet which might be an issue around a shower.

That's fantastic and exactly the look I want.

What adhesive do you recommend?

Bal Single Part white for the shower area, although tank the walls first, the kitchen walls would use the same or a tubbed adhesive like Bal Green Star !

Nicholas and Clarke (N&C) stuff is pretty decent.

Is tanking really necessary? (I am using Aquapanel in the wet areas). Also, white or grey adhesive for white tiles with grey grout?
