hi guys...
i know this isn't directly related to plastering, but just wondered if you could help...
a mate of mine has had his tiles done in his brandspanking, freshly plastered bathroom by a ''builder''.
Quite a few of the tiles sounded hollow/not keyed to the wall, so he pulled off the worse ones to reveal the tile adhesive hadn't keyed to the plaster AND the tiles had been dabbed on with 5 2"diameter dabs @ approx 4mm depth.
The tile adhesive was for use with fresh plaster and the tiles are approx 18" x 10".
Is there anything that can be done or should he just rip the lot off and re-do them (builder who did it has fallen out with him btw). He's thinking about firing something inbetween the tiles (not been grouted yet) instead of wasting time and money on taking them all off??
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
