Watermarks on ceramic tiles

[patriciadrew]

The ceramic tiles of my shower cubicle are water marked and have been since the first time the shower was used. I have tried everything to remove these marks - descalers, vinegar, you name it and I've tried it. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing the marks?

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean limescale or are the tiles darker in patches? If the patches vary then it may be water penetrating through the biscuit of the tiles to show patches in the glaze?

If it is Limescale try HG Limex or Hagesan Blue (HG)

Some marks will come off with toothpaste if they are not too severe.

Just depends what kind of marks you have.

Thanks for your quick response. The marks are definitely limescale marks. Do you know where I can buy the two products you mention?
