Daves reply is correct. If wall sheets are fixed correctly then taping joints usually prevents this problem. Adding a flexible additive to new grout mix and raking out the old grout may work as removing tiles will probably damage the plasterboard and open up more problems.
There is a product that may be available to you called "prep n prime" basically another paint which will stabilise a wall before tiling. Scoring the wall will help too
tiling onto plasterboard in a shower is never a good thing. Same now for plywood sheeting with new work standards. Backer boards should be used which are water resistant. Even then, the wall and internal corner should be fully waterproofed. Silicone looks pretty dire too.
As the tiling process...
I work a lot overseas for similar rates. The plus side is that wet areas are often fully tiled ( 25 to 30 mtr wall and floor) with large living areas 40 to 80 mtr so more area to lay although vinyl and wood effect floors are becoming fashionable too
I agree Elektor. Its too easy not to have a written contract and trust trades at face value. Fixing is a fail in every way. From waterproofing to basic setting out and cutting tiles and trims. I agree that bevelled tiles never look good against a straight angle. How about those perp joints !!!!
Pretty poor !
Orange tiles are designed to look handmade hence the wavey look. A bigger joint would look better
The brass angle should wrap around horizontal first then a verticle strip added below.then filed smooth for safety.
Verticle white can look stepped as the short ends arent always...
You could mask off the ceiling with the blue paint tape if grout is coloured but if its a wet area paint the grout should wipe off. Dark grey or black especially stains everything
Easier to grout to the ceiling. If it cracks then regrout or silicone. Its a pain siliconing to paitwork . Unless youre lavish with the water you shouldnt get a leak that heigh😁👍
I refused clips for years then a builder insisted I use them. If used properly with enough adhesive and no spot fixing then the wedges knocked out correctly, they do work. They even help with the warped plank tiles with lipping. I havent had a failure yet
Using on small tiles is definitely...
