I had a new bathroom installed recently (three months). Three walls around the bath and shower tiled. Over the past week approx 8 tiles (so far) have cracked in a vertical line (so almost the same line down on each tile in a vertical row). The tiles are over a false wall which was built to hide the shower plumbing. The cracks are no more than 1/2 mm if that and there appears to be no movement in the tiles at all. The cracks have been loud and sudden and each time after the bath or shower has been used.
I'm wondering whether the extreme temperatures of the past 10 days may have had any influence – very cold wall, very hot water? Or whether this is an underlying problem with the wall...
Any thoughts? And can anyone tell me if i can fill and seal the cracks or will the wall need re-tiling?
Any advice gratefully received!
