Tiles cracking, is it the adhesive or something else?

Surely it can't be water getting through grout again. 😉😉😀😀😀

What we need is a test!
Cardboard box, lined with newspaper, tiled in metros by a plumber

That sounds like more than one grout joint to me. Or a small box maybe?

Tiles could be dot and dab on the wall....hence the reason the tiler dosnt want to go into detail about his fixing method.......using rapid set that thick on a crap tile could be the root of the problem. ...

How do you dot and dab metros!??

 

[Dan]

One blob in the middle and then lots of swearing to get it stay flat lol

300x 100 metros.......like Dan said blob on each end one in the middle. .....perhaps he used to be a brickie .....lol

 

[AliGage]

Lol.
We'll the op hasn't been back on but all the cracking tiles appear to be in the corner from the pictures.
The more I skim over this thread I'm certain the grouted corner/water ingress is this issue. Substrate damage/movement.

 

[Andy Allen]

Maybe no one told him he'd bought crackle glazed tiles. .😉

 

[Dan]

I'm for substrate movement.

Or heat from hot showers and then cold air cooling quickly. And a thin glaze and crappy biscuit mix.
