    Default Which Grout for bathroom/shower tiles?????

    Hi - Just in the middle of replacing about 60 tiles that came loose on the side/wall of our bath/shower.
    have been using. Have been using a homebase waterproof adhesive/grout (tiling pros - please forgive me!) to stick them up - seems fine so far. If anybody had advise on a better grout to use - don't mind splashing out if there's a recommended brand. Any advice much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Ok guys thanks for the feedback....bit new to all this......we're in a new build...moved in about 2 years ago. So the tiles were new when moved in.
    So I can see your reactions already but does anybody have some suggestions for a good grout to use?

    If your house is under 2 years old the nhbc guarantee should cover the tiles falling off

    Mapei is not white enough.... Opt for BAL/Weber/Ardex/PCI etc...
