Shower Floor Lifting

[PJK]

Wet room installed 6 months ago - tiler used 18mm marine ply and epoxy resin (?painted on waterproof stuff??). The grout has now cracked along the side of the tiles - I have tried scraping out & re-grouting, but it has cracked again and now there is movement in the tiles.

I have dried out the room using a dehumidifier - should I try regrouting or do I have to take the tiles up & start again?

Needless to say, tiler is nowhere to be found.

No idea - it was black & supposedly cost £50 a tub.

you needed a modified adhesive, that means one that is flexible. the same for the grout, re-grout using a flexible grout to absorb any movement in the floor. as for the adhesive used, it should have been in a bag not a bucket

Many thanks - the grout I used before wasn't flexible, so I shall have another go. Thanks again.
