Ask your QuestionWhy do I have drummy and loose tiles in my bathroom and what can be done about it?
Asked by lauren on 8th Mar 2021"The problem you have is down to poor installation. Your tiles have not fully bonded to the wall/Floor. Some of the reasons why has happened is Walls not primed before tiling, if tiles are over 400mm they were not back buttered, for floors this can be as already mentioned and floor subfloor has too much movement and tiles have worked loose. They need to be removed and fitted correctly otherwise water will get behind and create more damage."

Water could have gone underneath
These could have been stuck straight onto wood and not used a ditra mat
Tiles stuck with dots and dabs
A section of tiles has to be removed and then the right decision can be made"
"Hi there.
Grout was weak so water got through and weakened adhesive so it needs a good tiling after all.
Good luck."
"Your tiles are moving away from the wall surface, there are a number of reasons why this is happening, the only solution is to remove to find out the real reason and re- tile properly the correct way"

Most likely there is not applied waterproof membrane and the used wrong materials. Hope it helps"
