Just finished a 2 bath remodel...we're very happy w/ the results, and I'll post this wkd on the galleries....Our shower is 12X12 cararra tiles. The outlet nipple where the handheld comes out apparently had too much pipe dope on it, and it has created a stain around this fitting.

GC is mad at the plumber, and they're trying to extract the stain with baking soda.

Any other tips to remove? we know it's the pipe dope, as we tested another scrap tile, and it left the same "grease spot" stain. Since these are thick tiles, GC is hesitant to chisel out and replace. Also, he's good with tile, but not a master like Bill..I'm happy with his work, but not sure I trust him with trying to cut out 1 tile without messing up the surrounding brand new shower/custom glass, etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
