Leaking Shower enclosures

[Bill]

The other tiles are not spot fixed but they dont look/feel really well secured to the wall in the enclosure where the middle section has been removed. Also if i tap the tiles in the other enclosure there is a hollow sound in places so seems not to be fully addy to the wall. Would that be right?

This shot is side on, what about this shot? The lack af adhesive and grout?

 

[jay]

Lack of adh behind tile is the problem makes you wonder whats holding it on and for how long

 

[Bill]

OH NO What do you guys suggest i do from here then? How should I approach the fitter with this news?

 

[jay]

One thing in your favor is i don't think it has been fixed to British standards (someone will advice) the second thing is its still leaking .you asked for a shower enclosure the supplier hasn't delivered

You will need to give him a chance to put right the mistakes and voice your concerns, as Jay says you have paid for a service you have quite clearly not recived the work is not up to the standard of a profesional Tiler and he has employed incorrect methods throughout the install.

Just another thought, was the plaster primed before tiling? I have seen it many times where the bond has been broken between the adhesive and the wall, this causes the grout to crack and come loose and of course lets water in.

Either way, the installation was not done right. It really is as simple as that. How you proceed from here is really down to you but you are well with in your rights to demand that he puts it right at his cost. By putting it right I mean ripping out, letting the wall dry correctly, tanking then retiling (solid bed not dot and dab) and then correctly sealing the enclosure.

He is of course not going to want to do any of this and will try every quick fix under the sun in the hope that it sorts it but it wont Im afraid.
