I realize that this is the flooring forum, but my sink question does not fall into plumbing. I have a travertine sink that per manufacture needs to be grouted and sealed.

"Our travertine sinks are lightly sealed with several coats of standard stone sink sealer. You will need to grout and seal your sink further to prevent leaking, waterproof and properly finish the sealing process."

What grout and sealer would you recommend to fill the pits in the sink?

What grout and sealer does the manufacturer recommend? That's all we can offer without knowing who they were. They go to all the trouble to tell you to do it, certainly they will have an idea as to what should be used.

Yea you would think... But that is why I am on this web site. It is a modern danish sink. It is about a year old and starting to show some pits. I have been using a stone sealer about every 6 months. We do not use any harsh chems. but it is the kitchen sink so it gets a lot of use.

I am just looking for a recommendation on a grout that can stand up to a lot of water and a good sealer. I am using TileLab.
