holes and cracks in grout about 48 hours after being layed.

As far as i know Mapei don't do a pre-mixed grout......unless it's epoxy.....have you got a name for it please..?
 
It was the pre mixed. The man that put the tile down is a professional. He did some other rooms at my house and they look great. But for the bath I bought a different kind of grout that we had never used.

The holes aren't everywhere. Do you think he could just rake out the seams that need to be repaired and leave the rest alone?
I wasn't aware that makei made a pre-mixed grout. Would you have a product name?
 
I use Mapei grout a lot on natural stone, and some of there range you have to mix and grout exacally a they say especially ultracolur plus, takes a bit of getting used too.
 
In that case, Marcie, I am unfamilier with the product. It is a new one on me. Does it give any usage instructions which might give a clue as to what has gone wrong?
 
This would be the product then ?
