Hi

I found just a short stretch of grout a bit dodgy in my bathroom wall tiles.On removing the grout from the row (about four tiles) to replace it,I find that just the corner of one tile is about 2-3 mm proud.The rest of the tile and the row is good.

Can I get away with using a glue (waterproof ceramic epoxy?) of some kind by squeezing it into the corner to make the corner flat again before regrouting?

Any one with suggestions please :)

What is the background - plaster board, solid plaster or backer board?
Has moisture penetrated & damaged the grout (& the adhesive)?
A photo always helps?

Thanks vinn.
Back is the plaster board. It is dry and the rest of the tile is held firm. Sorry about the pics :(
 
You could dig out a little of the plasterboard or whatever is pushing the tile corner up, and stick the tiles on with a small pot of DIY adhesive and grout.
Or, use the epoxy stuff you've proposed.
Typically, when grout and adhesive fail and tiles become loose then you have a moisture problem.

Thanks vinn. I'll give it a try. Would like to get away with that if possible! Hope it works! ;)
