Good morning,

I was wondering how to fix the cracks between the tiles. It seems like water is going into the cracks too. See attached photos.

Re: How to fix cracks between bathroom tiles?

Hello @vitra 

 

Thank you for sharing your question about fixing cracks between bathroom tiles. Looking at the photos you posted it seems like the aluminium tile edging has moved or the entire wall shifted causing the gap to appear. If I am wrong about this and you have removed the grout that was originally there, please let me know.

 

For gaps like these, I suggest using ordinary grout such as Dunlop Grout. However, if you are worried about movement, I recommend having a look at Selleys 300g White Wet Area Waterproof Silicone Sealant. Both these products will be sufficient to cover the gap you currently have. If there are remnants of the old grout still attached, I propose using QEP Grout Saw to clean the grout channel.

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when working on your tiling project.

 

Here are some handy step-by-step guides:

 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
