THanks. And what about grouting? Do you need a special type for floor
tiles? I only ask 'cos I've got about 10kg of wall tile grout left over
as well. Would be nice to use it up!

Is the grout powdered and does it mention floors?

If so, use it.

Do you really want the same coloured grout as on the walls - I made that
mistake once - used a white grout in a bathroom. Even with sealing, and a
relatively low-mud location it still goes grey/brown.

I wish I'd used a darker grout like the other floors - not a bit issue -
only I notice it, but it's one of those "if I knew, I'd do it differently".
