I have slate in my shower. Make sure it is sealed properly, the water should bead. You will have to do this about 1 time a year. Make sure the sealer is for protection against water, some of the sealer that you see at the hardware store is not made for this type of application. Search the web or go to a high end tile store like Ceramica Arnon in Chelsea to find the best stuff. I used a german product forgot the name but it worked great. Smelled like crap and took all day to dry, but it worked good. If you use it put it on in the morning and leave your house or the smell will make you dizzy.
