Hi there,
Had my bathroom refitted about 6 months ago... Whole room was retiled with 30cmx60cm tiles. It was a complete remodel so all the old tiles and plaster boards were removed.
About a month ago, I noticed that 2 of the tiles over the shower area have developed a very fine but noticeable crack... interesting thing is that the crack runs the length of both tiles from one end all the way to the other so the crack is 120cm long! And if I run my palm over the crack, it feels as if the area is "dented in".
Can anyone advise what would cause tiles to crack like this? I would ideally talk to my builder to get him to remedy the situation but he has apparently shut down his business.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I wouldn't want to fix this myself but I just want to know what causes things like this and whether or not it was poor installation...
Thanks!
