Hi, looks like an expansion issue.. probs a timber boxing..

Hi and welcome......looks like it may lift off quite easily, if it does clean the tiles and re-stick.

Ok thanks for the answers.It may seem ready to fell off but its pretty stabilized.It barely can be moved if i apply pressure and only on the edge?I dont think i can get if off easy.If i clean the grout and apply some new will it be ok?

You can only but try and see how it goes, try using a good grout that may allow you some flexibility.

I hate to say it but I would be inclined to cover the edges with some plastic L shaped trim. Regrouting may work but will not hide the tile edge.

Ok i will try to regrout it and i will post pictures again.Also i will renovate the bathroom soon there are other problems also but i want a fix until then so that it doesnt look so ugly.
