Hi all, am hoping to find experts and/or sympathisers to help me through a tiling problem...a shower enclosure tiled on two sides looks to have perfectly good grout, sealant etc yet it leaks badly and I've proved that it's leaking through the walls by temporarily lining the two walls with thin polythene sheet, which has completely stopped the leak. So...assumed it must be the grout and have started removing it to regrout. Nightmare job, have removed grout from 6 tiles and it's taken about 3 hours already - at that rate I've got days of work ahead of me and I'm bound to crack a tile or two in the process. Is there a better solution? Does "grout sealant" do what it says or is it just to improve runoff? Incidentally the grout removal shows up that some of the tiles aren't on a full bed of adhesive, although I think it's better than a few dabs on corners of tiles, can't be sure. All advice gratefully received. Steve
