Old tiles falling off

[TESAD]

Hi

Hope everyone is ok, I am not very good at DIY and need advice, my bathroom seems quite old I have no idea how long its been tiled for I have lived in house two years.

Two tiles in my shower have started to come off the wall, would I be best trying to glue them back on which they are still on the wall or try to pull them off and re tile?

Thank you for your help

If two tiles are coming off, I would imagine the rest are on there way down too. I'd pull the 2 off and see what you find, have a look to see if any more are loose. Welcome along to TF.

A good excuse to have some new tiling done! If you need any advice, come here before you start anything, you'd be surprised what you need to know!

yes deffo come back with pics if you can as soon as you remove the tiles carefully ,i dont think you will be replacing them one by one,lol if you take them off carefully you may get away with re-fixing the two back on and save yourself some cash :welcome:to the forum

Just recently got asked to regrout a shower cubicle after a leak down into kitchen. When I went to look at the job I told the customer that it would all have to come out. He had two loose tiles and this is what I found behind.



You may be lucky and have caught the problem early but water creates devastating effects on plaster/wood so removing the loose tiles will give you an opportunity to see what the damage is.

Good luck
