Discuss Wetroom tiles squelching and bringing up water in the Bathrooms, Showers and Wetrooms area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi all

Moved in to a new house a few months ago. The previous owner had installed an accessible wetroom with nonslip flooring, handrails, etc. We've been using it but have started to notice that some of the floor tiles make a squelching sound when you tread on them and a little water emerges from between the tiles. I'm sure that's not what is meant to happen! It also looks like there are some wet marks on the ceiling below. So we've stopped using it for now.

I'm a complete novice so would appreciate any advice about what we could do. Is it possible that regrouting is all that's needed? Or does it need a more thorough inspection? Do we need a tiler or a specialist wetroom installer to sort this out? Help!
 
It’s fecked and needs to be ripped out and started again sorry to say
 
The very least is take up the loose tiles and redo, but it’s not a good sign and usually means that nothing has been done properly and it usually ends up as a rip out and redo.
