Hello,
Sorry to trouble, I would really appreciate some advice.
Firstly, there could be a moan attached to this about a supposed professional tiler, but I won't name names.
I have a 2yr old small bathroom tiled with porcelain 12.5" x 18" tiles
Some tiles are working loose, and today I found a leak where the grout is splitting and another loose tile has appeared. Marine ply is soaked through ( so I suppose it's a lot of water?). The troubled area is in a shower enclosure.
Q. What's the best way to get the grout out and try to seal it up?
Q. If the tiles are giving way, is the only option to rip it all out and re-do it, or can it be done just where the tiles are giving way?
Q. Why is the grout cracking, why are the tiles coming off?
I would have expected the tiling job to have lasted longer really, or am I wrong to assume this?
To clarify, I didn't do any of it, I'm not good at this kind of thing. So I employed someone to do it, but that person has told me to get stuffed when asked to make good his original job.
Stuck, Leaking, Crap at DIY, Miserable, Hoping.
Cheers
