Hello all,
Today we got into our new house and when i had a closer look and scraped back some of the grout around the drain in the shower two of the tiles popped out, taking them out and seeing what was under them i knew it wasnt going to be just a simple re grout. What ever it is under the tile it was sandy and loose, easy to scrape it loose.
My question is does anyone know what this would be? i suspect it's the tile adhesive that has been damp for too long and become cumbly. I would appreciate any advice on how i should repair this? should i scrape it back more and refill with tile adhesive then put the two tiles back and re grout/silicone once dried or should i use some other method that im unaware of?
I have attached a couple of pics of how it currently looks.
We are just after a quick fix until we do a full renovation of the bathroom. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
