Which Grout for bathroom/shower tiles?????

[rob_trik]

Hi - Just in the middle of replacing about 60 tiles that came loose on the side/wall of our bath/shower.
have been using. Have been using a homebase waterproof adhesive/grout (tiling pros - please forgive me!) to stick them up - seems fine so far. If anybody had advise on a better grout to use - don't mind splashing out if there's a recommended brand. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

erm hello rob,60 tiles came loose on your shower wall? are these new tiles or an old install?

you've probably used the same stuff to retile as what was used in the first instance. it will probably end up the same :mad2:

Ok guys thanks for the feedback....bit new to all this......we're in a new build...moved in about 2 years ago. So the tiles were new when moved in.
So I can see your reactions already but does anybody have some suggestions for a good grout to use?

Sorry Rob, just pulling ya leg..


Pop to a tile merchants and get a CG2 grout..

If your house is under 2 years old the nhbc guarantee should cover the tiles falling off

Thats very interesting...flats have actually been up longer...probably about 4 years...we were probably one of the last to move in. Thanks!

 

[rob_trik]

Thanks all for the advice! Will look into CG2 and Mapei.

Mapei is not white enough.... Opt for BAL/Weber/Ardex/PCI etc...

Thanks Dave...couldn't find mapei....went with BAL instead.....thanks to all for the advice.
