tiles peeled off plasterboard

kozak

Hello

A few tiles peeled off plasterboard in our bathroom. Tiles did not fall off, but there is a 2cm gap between tiles and plasterboard, so tiles will come off any time. Impacted area is around 40cm by 20cm

Tiling was done by builders during construction of apartment in 2005.

What adhesive would you recommend? Or may be there is another way to fix tiles back to plasterboard ?

Thanks

Take them down and start again. I'd say the surface wasn't properly strached in order to give the cement somewhere to adhere to.

Take them down and fix it properly asap. If you get a bunch of water behind the tiles your problem will get a lot worse quickly.

Any sort of tile adhesive and grouting will do. You can get a 2 in 1 if you like but might not match your existing colour.

Try and scrape off any remaining adhesive on the tile and wall before trying to put it back.

Use tec7
You can tile and grout with it

Are you familiar with the Dunning and Kruger effect?
