What thickness is the tile ?, and what adhesive have you tried using so far. MDF will also soak up moisture in the air so tiled MDF in a bathroom might not be a good idea anyway. | |||

Sorry, but there is no such thing as waterproof adhesive and grout for starters, just different grades of water resistance as water will slowly make its way through anything given time and exposure to water. What make and name was the adhesive that you have already used ? | ||

I wouldn't tile onto MDF in the first place, and certainly not in a bathroom or anywhere it might come into contact with damp | ||||||||||
