Should my wetroom floor move that much?

[DHTiling]

A common problem when installing these extruded foam trays , is lack of contact with adhesive and substrate etc... install incorrectly and you will get bounce in the tray..

I have seen quite a few fitted and refused to tile due to incompetent plumber.. The only solution as already said is to rip out and fix it solidly.. including tanking for water tightness.

Only 2 tilers i would recommend in your area and those are Andy carroll and son and Philip Hobson... either will do a perfect job.

Again thank you for all the feedback and advice on this floor. I have attached some pictures of my lovely floor!! The good news is that as soon as I showed the fitter the floor on Friday he agreed that it wasnt right and is keen to sort it out. This was a relief as we have asked previously and told is was correct. I have flagged up that the size of tile may be an issue (thanks to rookery and L@tiletown for flagging this up) , he says he hasnt been made aware of a minimum tile size, so I have emailed him a MARMOX brochure I have found online. Unfortunately we have a new leak that seems to becoming from allong the the base of the wall tiles and the floor tiles. My husband has looked and cant see anything on the pipes. We know the area was tanked. Its bizarre, because we havent used the shower since last Wednesday, and the water is not dripping from inside the bathroom, we are positive its coming from behind the wall.
So we'll see what happens next.

Hi flyingblind, I feel you have had some good advise here but i also think you have been taken for a ride, by the sound of it this guy doesn't really know what he is doing. I wouldn't let him continue with anything until you have had one of the guys here take a look at it for you and I wouldn't give him another penny for sure. Personally I think the standard of the tiling while far from the worst i've seen isn't great, and it's pretty common knowledge among fitters about the point loadings of mosaics, to say he has never heard of this rings alarm bells. I hope you get it sorted out but i don't think this guy is capable if i'm honest.

I take it there coming back to finish the grouting on the mosaics

As others really - however this guy is not a plumber or a tiler!

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.

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!
