BATHROOM TILE CRACKING
I installed 6x6" bathroom tiles on new primed plywood backing. I
noticed a number of hairline cracks in the grout. I don't know if I should remove all the grout to repair or widen the cracks and install new grout. Any help would be appreciated. Wally |

You've got movement or flex in the sub-floor. Of which, you give no details. PS. If this is a wall you're referring to then you most likely have a lousy bond between tile and substrate or again, some movement for soem reason, or the plywood's too thin, or the studs are too far apart, or... of which you give no details. |
