I am Remodeling my pool. I had aggregate concrete for the decking. They extended the pool deck some as well. Total is about 550 sqft.
They laid down Travertine tile over top. I picked a very similar grout color to the travertine tile. They laid the wrong grout the first time. They came back and cut out every grout line and laid the correct grout. But the color has changed. It went from a Sandy beige color to a white. Some areas it stayed the same. The grout color is not consistent.
On the area that has not been completed with the wrong route it also has this white in it.
this is the Correct color.

This photo the bottom grout lines are the correct color then it changes to white up top.
And side by side.
I paid a lot of money for this deck and there has been several problems.
1. initially laid the wrong grout color, gray and not”bone”
2. High spots along couping. Where tile meets couping. Around pool in various areas. And all the way around the spa
3. High tile edges and corners throughout.
4. When laying tile they cut into couping pieces already laid.
5. low area in middle of deck.
6. When cutting the grout to fix the original issue, they cut into pieces where the tile intersects. I have a Versailles pattern.
I have been very patient on this issue with the pool builder. I don’t know why the grout is doing this or what the issue is. Anybody know what’s going on here.
I would like to give the pool builder an opportunity to fix the problem instead of starting all over. But I believe the fix will not be worth the price I paid.
