Bathroom floor grout
Ok, There is one area of the bathroom grout(one tile) that has cracked.
I don't want to lift it at the moment, as SWIMBO is thinking that she would like it all changed! The tile moves slightly when I stand on it, so this is what has caused the grout to crack. Can anyone recommend some sort of flexible grout, or is it likely I could squirt some thing into the gap that the grout was in, that would run under the tile and stop it moving. Its only for as long as I can put her off replacing whole bathroom floor, the nicer I can get it, the longer I can go without replacing it. -- yendor |

I had a cracked screed that was loose before tiling., I poured about a pint in and left it a week, Fixed it a treat. Its only for as long as I can put her off replacing whole bathroom floor, the nicer I can get it, the longer I can go without replacing it. try the PVA to fix the looseness - dont stand on it for several days - then regrout. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |
