Water getting under tiles

maceocc2

Alright,

I have a problem in the bathroom. It seems water is getting under the tiles beside the shower through a small crack in the grout, i only noticed this last night but it could have been going on for some time. I was wondering does anyone know how to repair this with lifting all the tiles in the bathroom, or what i will have to do to fix the problem?

Wont really have to lift the tiles however do the following

1: Dry the area
2: Remove any loose grout around the cracked patch
3: Get some good grout from your local DIY waterproof would be good
4: If you have no idea how to mix it buy some premixed it should be able to be brought in tube small packs.
5: Fill the hole with the grout use a old credit card and smooth of the excess using a clean sponge.

This should fix it

If the crack is along a edge line by the wall you may want to consider sealant. Come back to this thread if you want to go down that route
