Brad-
Tile-x is acidic-
Travertine is acid sensitive
Stone is compromised of minerals.
They don't lose their color
However because of the acid contacting the stone it will etch(mark of corrosion)
In the stone world an etch will always be lighter than the stone-
A true stain will always be darker.
Sealers, enhancers, colorants will not help you-
You need to fine a reputable stone refinisher who will refinish your stone and shower stall back to its original finish complete with caulking.
He or she will be able to recommend products for ongoing care .
A bit of information and stone education as well.

Subject: Adding Colorant to Bleach-Damaged Travertine Tile

Message: I utilized Tilex several times on travertine tile in my shower that has resulted in large almost white splotches in the tiles. They look like areas where the Travertine finish has been removed leaving the underlay material ( stone or epoxy?) Is it possible to somehow add color to the white splotchy areas so that they come close to matching the rest of the tile? If so, what product(s) would you recommend? I'm not looking for a color enhancer.  I'm looking for a colorant. Thanks.

Brad
