It depends what the tiles are but I'd try nitromors or some methonol, they use this to remove inks and I have use it to remove phone numbers from bouncy castles

Mick,
Another thing you could try is nail varnish remover, most have acetone in them, try a small test spot first, but if the tiles are dyed it might lift that so be careful. Any idea what the tiles are, slate, granite etc?
