dhceramics:
He used BAL Microflex Wall Grout White. Just added water.
I dont think the wall is flexing though. I did the stud work. 30cm between centers.
Varley:
Yes. The tiles went onto wediboard. I used the genuine wedi tape and sealed the whole lot off with ardex adhesives.
Gaz @ Topps:
No hairline cracks in any of the tiles. The
tiler went through a lot of tiles, discarding many that had imperfections. These I took back to B&Q.
I did question the use of non waterproof tile adhesive for the wetarea, but he told be he'd done swimming pools with the stuff (&BAL white) and had no problems. So I took his word.
Even though ToppFix is not waterproof, the wedi board is. When TopFix gets wet, will it loose it's adhesion and cause the tile to fall off the wall?
It could be that the grout is not flush enough with the top of the tile and therefore the water is getting in below the glazing?
Could someone take a look at this photo of the edge of a spare tile I have and tell me if the glazing on the side is normal? It looks a bit on the shallow side to me, but I've not seen many tiles.

If the grout has not gone deep enough, then I'll call the
tiler back to finish the job.
Can grout be applied to the top of existing grout? or will he have to remove the shallow grout first? Difficult job?
Thanks.
