Problem shower
I have an en-suite power shower and the grout on the bottom 2-3 rows of tiles has breaks in it.
As a result water has got behind and discoloured the ties. As I have spare tiles I intend to remove the damaged tiles and fix new ones.
Is there someting I can apply/paint onto the plaster wall behind to waterproof the surface to protect it ?
Also is there a specfic grout I should use ?

Re: Problem shower
If it's a power shower then i think you need to remove more than 2 rows to get the waterpoofing( tanking) high enough to stop any ingression.......there are various tanking kits on the market...from Mapei gum wps to tanking membranes...

Re: Problem shower
Ideally it requires tanking all the way up! But for it to be effective you will normally need to go up at least a metre
