Floor Tile help

[Paul77]

Hi all looking for some help advice if possible about 5 weeks ago we had our bathroom done and there are 2 spots on the floor that have movement and have ruined the grout.

I really dont want to ask the guy to come out as he has been nothing but bother since we planned the job.

Anyway im looking to have a go myself at fixing the grout problem BUT im looking for something that wont come apart as has been the case with the grout he's used.



Im looking for somewhere that sell's granfix ultimate flex or something simliar...not really being a D.I.Yer im wondering if some one can point me towrds something ready made??? and maybe give me advice regarding the matter.

It's coming apart because you do have movement in the subfloor.
It's all down to preparation or lack of it, and although you can try a flexible grout, if there is too much movement all grout will crack and drop out.
Sound out the tiles involved and tap to see if they are loose.
If you want to throw money away do it yourself, but after 5 weeks your contractor should have the opportunity to rectify his work - which IMO will only get worse the longer you leave it/try to repair it.

And :welcome:.

We have a good Tiler in Durham.

Hi PAul.

It does look like movement.. i am in your area and can pop out if you require..

 

[Paul77]

Cheer's guys will see what can be done with regards to the guy who did the work originally just really annoyed, as we'd had to save up to get it done and now this after so much messing about (On his part)

Just shout out if you require me to see why it is happening..

Paul, take Dave up on his offer. You'll know for sure what the reason is for the grout cracking then and this will stand you in good stead when you contact your original tiler, if you let the original guy diagnose it you may find you get spun allsorts of excuses. Welcome along to the forum.
