1. Attached are a few pictures of our grout in the bathroom. What could have gone wrong there?
2. Corner profiles are partly rusty and very sharp-edged.
3. Floor tiles in the hallway, please look at the differences. Is this acceptable porcelain stoneware 30×60?
4. Why are my grout joints so different in color? It should be dark gray.

It indeed looks very unpleasant and calls for correction. I don't believe it is rust; they are probably stainless steel rails, looks like discoloration caused by an angle grinder. Otherwise, there is not much to say. It is untidy. Complain and demand correction, otherwise withhold payment.

You can only see that on the stainless steel rails for a few days, before there was nothing. We have been living here since the beginning of February and recently it all started.

I think the joints deserve another cleaning with [Zementschleierentferner]. The last picture shows a horizontal expansion joint. Silicone. The color tone could be matched better but it will never be exact.

The tiler worked very poorly, such joints are unacceptable, with holes in them. Tip on the side: Nowadays it is mandatory to apply a waterproof coating under the tiles in the bathroom, I would suspect that this was not done either. Also very poorly done here, it is better not to set corner trims at an angle. I still don't think it is rust, but just badly cut off because it got too hot, not even deburred, I would not pay fully for these pieces. Depending on how you interpret the photos: Depending on the price/quality of the porcelain stoneware (from €40 /m² this should be excluded) the tiles have a banana shape, nothing can be done about that by the tiler. But it could also be that too much grout has been washed out, but those are rather minor details. This is the expansion joint, a good craftsman would inform the customer that silicone comes in different shades of grey and let them choose the one closest to it. But again, rather minor details. But be careful! I have never been directly involved with the trade of tiling, except that I watched my tiler over his shoulder during my house construction and informed myself when buying tiles.

Regarding the color of the grout. I have already tried everything: cement residue remover, basic cleaner, and grout cleaner. I just can't get them dark gray. Seen in the picture. Color difference. How it should be in the bathroom and how it looks in many places or in most areas.
