[quote=FiscoKing;16048]Hi,
New to the forum. Just started using my walk in shower.
The shower area (wall) is tiled with ceramic wall tiles.
Tiles are held onto the wall with ToppsTiles ceramic tile wall adhesive (Toppfix - the
tiler said this stuff was the dogs).
Grout is BAL White.
I waited 4 weeks for the grout to set before turning the shower on.
I've noticed that after 30 mins use, there are now water marks on the tiles. By this I mean the colour of the wall tiles are changing around the corners and from the bottom up where the all meets the floor (like rising damp).

The tiles looked this way after the
tiler had applied the grout, but the tiles dried out after about 4-5 days.
It looks to me as if the tiles are soaking up water from the edges???
Is this normal?
Will there be any problems in the future because of this?
Thanks.[/quote]Toppfix adhesive is not suitable for showers,although the water is getting in to the edge of the tiles causing the look,are their little hairline cracks in the grout where the water can track in?
