I take it these are the bathrooms that are failing marc ?
Bad floors, bad prep bad walls bad prep all in all a crap job.
I can show you hundreds of shower rooms , mine included , which is used 3/4 times a day for nigh on ten years, no leaks apart from the crap shower screen.
I can show you showers ive never tanked which are fine, mine included , i can show you pebbledashing/rendering which i used loads of pva on which are solid after 30 years , no cracks no blow offs, i can show you women i have slept with who .... Hang on, off topic 😉
All im saying is if its prepped right and the job is done right some things are just over kill


Ps you can say i told you so all you want, mine aint failed , ever my man, and ive filled ever corner ive ever tiled 🙂

Why would you use pva in pebbledash😕

Yes always used waterproofed as well mark, but if the sun was on the scratch it used to kill it, hence the use of either a long hosepipe or a coat of pva

I think the requirement to seal all internal wall tile corner joints was added to BS in 2009, prior to that it was only required where the walls were more than 6m long so most domestic bathrooms had grouted corners! Some good tilers did however fill the corner joint with Silicon rubber seal' if it was a shower corner to prevent water getting through if there was some movement.

Joints should not be filled with sealant, there should be a backing filler (if deep joints) or piece of bond breaking material (eg ptfe tape) at the back of the joint so that the sealant only bonds to the sides of the joint. Own up - who is not doing it properly.
