[QUOTE="Wilbur, post: 990310, member: 61346"] Hello, I'm just a home owner who doesn't have much experience with tiling but I'm looking for advice on fixing a few problems that a professional left me with. He of course has not responded to any messages. Basically it turns out that he used the dot and dab method when retiling my bathroom last summer. I think this is the reason why two tiles have developed hairline cracks and one fell off the wall completely. I put the tile back on using a cheap "fix and grout" because I didn't want to buy a whole bag of regular tile adhesive, and I had some grout left over from the original job. However I discovered that between the bathtub and the wall there is spray foam in the gap, topped with grout, and then silicone over that. I cut away the silicone and the grout where the tile fell off but I'm not sure if I can now just put silicone in the gap, or whether I should strip the whole wall and replace the silicone. I don't really have the means or desire to redo the whole thing (that is why I hired someone after all) but I would like some advice on making it as good as I can and not have water seeping into the wall.
