Should my wetroom floor move that much?

[Lee@emctiles]

Love to know what grout has been used.......looks like wall grout to me......or lack of grout as well!

Well the results are in. Marmox have reported that as the fitter used 'pink grip' to stick the tray down, the solvents in it have degraded the tray. So the floor needs to come up, the tray be replaced and the floor retiled.....Gutted. Now need to find someone who will do the tray replacement work in Cheshire and then have the floor tiled. Any suggestions??? The current fitters services are not being retained (putting it politely), and given the stunts of the last week I am sure that my bathroom is a feature on a comedy hidden camera show.

You can advertise for a tiler here ----> http://www.tilersforums.com/im-looking-wall-floor-tiler/

Thank you, Do I need one person to remove the tray, and fit the new one, then a second person to tile it, or should the replacement of the tray fit within the remit of a tiler too?

IMO the tiler should be able to fit the tray as well!

Thanks for posting that info Flyingblind, got to say ive never sold anything other than SPF to stick the tray down, but i can see why pink grip would be used, i didnt know that it did this thou!

Just to let you know I've had a look at this job so a bit of an update for those curious.
1. Substrate is chipboard.
2. Area outside tray appears to have had some SLC on it, perhaps 3/4mm at the doorway where it has de-bonded.
3. Elec UFH has been installed, possibly direct to chipboard.
4. Definite movement here and there.
5. Tiling outside of tray area is up n down a bit.
6. Fall in tray area seems steeper than I would have expected.
7. Junction of tray and walls plus internal corners grouted not siliconed.
8. Many areas of cracked grout.
9. Generally a poor finish.
10. Job done by a plumber.

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
