    Tile grout cracking in bathroom
    Hi I have just recently built a house. I installed a steam shower in the main bathroom Thermasol SSP-140. I have only used it a few times and noticed cracking in the grout around the steam generator head. I included a link to my dropbox folder with a few pics of the cracking.. I had the tiling contractor back and he regrouted but it happened again... In the pics you will notice the grout cracked. Along the floor as well as in the corner on the wall. You will also see a wet looking spot but it is dry there so this might be leaching of the tile or grout colour.. Any tipson how to remedy would be great. Steam head location is at the required distances from manufacture.. dropbox link:
