Flexible grout/ an alternatvie?

tizzle6560

Slightly wonky floor in bathroom means that grouting between tiles is crumbling away continuously.

Has anyone used/ can recommend flexible grout or any other alternative?

Am almost thinking of resorting to caulk or bathroom sealant in all the gaps..

Thanks

I too have a similar problem. Floor not really flexible but seems to have variations in dimensions seasonally probably owing to temperature/moisture changes. I had thought along similar lines. I have a join between different floor types (concrete to wooden) and realising there would be an issue with that at the outset I used Sovereign silicone sealant and it has been perfect so think that could be the answer and will proceed with that if I get more grout disintegrating on me! I used so called flexible grout in the first instance but obviously not flexible enough which is no surprise as it is cement based!!

Something like this might be worth a crack (boom-tish):

If that doesn't pan out, I'd recommend replacing the floor with some 22mm marine ply and re-tile - although I appreciate that's obviously a last resort.

definately would advise choosing a decent grout like mapei. I use it all the time now and know several in the trade (kitchen and bathroom fitters) who do so too
