Drying out limestone tiles

[noonandchas]

Thanks to all for your comments: whilst none of it really makes me feel any better you are voicing suspicions we've held for a while now. Now onto the tricky subject of who foots the bill for the repair work. Would anyone care to comment on where liability might lie?

did the tiler get paid direct or was he part of the plumbers contract for the bathroom?

I'd agree with all the previous!
Tiles are stained from the back just like blotting paper and its down to the fixing method - would have been even worse with a darker adhesive.
Only reason I asked about the windows being shut is I had a Kitchen Co.. a few years ago who were trying to dry out a floor screed with a dehumidifier and open window - and after 4 weeks the lake down the road ran dry:lol:

Typing at the same time as you - your next point liability.
Only one place I can see and that's with the tile fixer as he should have been aware of the correct proceedure for the fixing of natural stone and in this case White Limestone.

It can only lay with the Fixer i'm afraid.. knowledge is what lacked here.. and incorrect fixing method.

Posted the same tine as John.. 🙂

So hope all this advice helps..

the thing is if the tiler was working for the plumber(him being the main contractor on the job) then the plumber is the one you have to seek compensation from,and he has to do the same if he wants to recoup from the tiler

Thanks guys. The floor tiles look fine, but as its a tanked wet room will they have to come up as well?

If they are fine then leave those alone and just replaced the blobbed strained ones. Unless you are dubious of how they are fixed.

Our contract is with the plumber: the tiler is working under him.

Then i would speak to the plumber and tell him the tiles are stained and not fixed to BS5385 standards..
