[QUOTE="John Benton, post: 767022, member: 27051"] Concur with Stef there. I've blown up the images and it does appear that the grout has cracked along the side of the tile. The tray although having a gradient to allow water to flow to the drain there is no reason why you cannot get a full bed of adhesive beneath the tile as the gradients are perfectly flat. Do you know the method used for fixing the tiles, even in the dry area of the floor i.e. was the right size notched trowel used and were the tiles back buttered with adhesive prior to fixing. A good way of telling if they were is to tap on the tiles with your knuckles at various different points and if the sound is hollow then there is a chance that water could sit beneath the tiles in any voids left. If there is a hollow sound then chances are they were just dot n dabbed to the floor. This is the wrong fixing method and although possibly not visible to the eye there may be a small amount of movement but enough to crack the grout and allow water to directly pass the grout and sit underneath.
