Default Re: Rising water marks on tiles around shower - normal? (pics)

Ah well.

Anyone want to give me odds on getting the tiler back?

So to do the job properly:

1) remove the tiles
2) scrape off the excess tile adhesive.
3) Re-apply the (new) tiles using a waterproof tile adhesive and waterproof grout.

Will I need new tiles?

Making sure of course that the grout at least covers the glazing this time....

Well that makes sense to me, but here's the problem. I have a feeling that when (if) the tiler comes back, he's going to blame the tiles, and then tell me what he said the first time round, that the grout and adhesive he's used is fine in his opinion, and he's been round for decades doing it this way, and he knew god when god was a lad etc.....

Who am I as a lay person to question him.

I will at least give it a try.

My only concern is that when the tiles are removed, they take the wedi tape with them which will break the seal. Will talk to wedi tomorrow.

Thanks.
