Hi, hope you can help me. We're in the process of having bathrooms refitted. Tiles, ceramic approx 400 x 200mm in our shower enclosure appear to be badly adhered to the wall - tap them and there are hollow areas. We've terminated our contractor, not literally alas, as this is one of many issues. We dont know what has been used to apply tiles, if the plasterboard under the tiles has been tanked and it looks like he's used floor grout for the walls - its very coarse. I can tell you this as we've had a top guy from BAL out to have a look at our floors, also not good. Also the apex where the tiles meet on the shower wall has also been grouted and then covered with silicone, which I see from forums is a no no. Another problem albeit smaller.
Question I have is : is there any way we can determine if the walls have been tanked without taking all the tiles down? Given the adhesion issue and the fact that we dont know whats going on under the tiles do you reckon we just cut our losses - a total of £2K across all our floors and wall tiles - remove the lot and redo?...
