Baird,
We corrected exactly the same problem 2 years ago. You may even see the picture of that job on my web site in before and after section.
Anyway, you need to strip the sealer first. You may add 600 grit honning powder during stripping for better results. Then use color enhancing sealer ( we used Stone Tech sealer) and buff it in. Let it dry for 8 hrs and its done.

I'm not sure they knew what they were getting.  I wouldn't give them a
wet look, but who knows what the Tile Store told them?
