New sealant round bath bringing tiles off
Hi all,
I replaced the old sealant around our bath over the weekend. I took advantage of the fact that we were away to fill the bath with water and do the sealant before leaving, letting it fully set before emptying the bath on our return. All went well and looked good until this morning I noticed yesterday that some of the grout around the bottom two rows of tiles was falling our and this morning noticed that some of the tiles had become loose. I can only assume that this has happened because the solid sealant between the tiles and the bath have pushed up on the tiles when the bath has been emptied. Is this my fault - or is it the fault of whoever put the tiles up (previous owner I assume, who seems to have made a cock-of everything else!) I am of the opinion that I did my bit properly and that the tiles were not bonded to the wall very well - but am willing to be put in my place if that's not the case Finally, what are the chances of me removing the few loose tiles and refitting them without it looking obvious? Thanks, Richard |
