[QUOTE="Melbourne Builder, post: 990442, member: 61069"] Hi Floyd - so, in the end, I got a re-grouting company (Save & Seal)to remove all the grout and re-do with epoxy. On one of the jobs, where one of the tiles had reasonably significant squishy movement, they injected an epoxy (?) glue underneath. It seems to have done the trick: I’ve had no further call backs to either job (touch wood!) so it seems as though epoxy grout could be the viable solution when using these shower bases. I’m still unsure as to exactly what causes the movement. Most of the grout cracking seems to happen around the floor waste, so maybe there is a weakness at this point? We followed the install instructions to the letter and infact ended up fully supporting one of the bases, so there must just be a natural flex within the base. Screwing it down might help, (as it does when screwing Scyon Secura flooring down) as it ensures the polyurethane/Sikaflex adheres fully. Thinking on it - from memory, the installation instructions calls up putting weight on all four corners of the base, while the adhesive goes off. Maybe it’s best to ensure that the centre of the base is also fully weighted during the curing time. I’m not sure if I’ll use these shower bases again. They’re a useful product when installing a walk in shower on top of existing posi-joists, where the joist cannot be cut down or altered. I guess the only option in this case, is to have a small hob or step up - unless anyone has another suggestion? Good luck Floyd [/QUOTE]
