Cracked Tiles

[Dan]

Yeah your tiles are cracking fully I think.

As they're already shot, and the job needs to be redone, would you feel comfortable perhaps pushing one of the tiles on a breaking point and see if it comes off? Perhaps do the bit not in the shower?

Only do this if you're comfortable and this suggestion isn't going to cause more issues.

I'd like to see if you can confirm the tile is broken right the way through. That doesn't appear to be surface crazing of any form. I think they've broken.

Funny how it's near the pipes where heat is too.

See the white dot in the middle of this to the left, where two cracks meet? It's chipped off. Can you feel that with your nail?

Not sure if that was meant to say something ?

Some of the tiles were removed yesterday, they are bowed and weren't like that before they were fitted. The tiler doesn't know why but has covered the wall in something that looks like cement and is coming back next week. I have taken some photos of one of the bowed tiles, but looks to me like there is far too much adhesive, what do you think.

What tiles are they, just read through the whole thread and no mention of what material they are made of.
