Hello Tilers,
I'm seeking some expert advise here, I'm not a tiler myself nor a half good DIYer

Have got a Patio Laid in Porcelain last week.
However due to weather conditions the work has been slow as it has been raining intermittently sometimes heavy.
The tiles have been laid on cement/mortar mix with slurry painted at the back.
During Rain the Tiles have been left uncovered.
Now the patio is completed but the joints have not been Grouted and will be done sometime next week.

My worries are
1) Is the Patio destroyed, will the tiles just come off because they were left uncovered during rain (We received heavy rain about 5 hours after about 3/4th patio was laid).
2) As the grouting has been delayed by about 1 week and there is going to be rain etc in the meanwhile, is it now a lost case.

Many Thanks,
Mark
