Grout cracked after 6 months
Had new bathroom by a builder who has subsequently gone bust and after 6 months the floor has had it!
The floor is floorboard on which he put plywood down on (and underfloor heating) with floor tiles on top. There's a LOT of flex in areas of the floor and so the grout has started popping out (probably 10-15% of the total grout has popped out, already). Clearly he didn't lay thick enough ply.
I've had a quote to re-lay the whole floor and it's a huge sum of money that I just don't have, so hoping to first attempt to re-grout with a maximum-flex-tolerant grout. Hoping for some advice on which product to use, please? Have found Mapei KERACOLOR FLEX or ULTRACOLOR PLUS as options, but also had KERAPOXY CQ suggested.
What does everyone think?
Thanks!
