Morning all,
First post....
My bathroom is fully tiled. I've noticed that the grout is cracked between the row of tiles that the bath silicon sealer is attached to and the row above. Obviously this only happens when someone is in the bath/shower, at rest it's all fine.
Now, I've scraped the grout out of that row, then half-filled the bath with water, then grouted the gap again and left it to dry for around 12 hours. I've then emptied the bath. Days later, the grout is still gaping when someone is in the bath or shower.
Is there some specific grout I should be using, something more flexible? I guess the implication also is that the tiles are not firmly fixed to the wall if the bath is pulling them down, but I really don't want to take the bath out just to refix a dozen or so tiles. But I'm concerned that water will enter the gap when the shower is in use, which will then cause damage to the floor and ceiling below.
Anyone have any ideas?
