    Recently the developer rectified the crack tiles issues by re-tiling over the old tiles.

    Where is the ‘line’ relating to bathroom tiles and common property? Does it mean each time a owner wishes to change their bathroom tiles, the OC will foot the bill?

    Hi Chak

     

    Take the advice given in other posts and get the Developer to completely take up the cracked/broken tiles at their cost.  It should not be the OC who pays for the developer’s bad work. 

    The subfloor, under the tiles could be uneven and need to be levelled first.

    I learned after I had purchased my villa that the previous owners had re-tiled the bathroom, when I was investigating damp.

    In the shower recess, not all the old hexagonal tiles had been taken up.  It looked ok, but meant the square tiles on top cracked, water got into the subfloor, and while as a short term solution I have had it sealed, I really need to replace  the sub-floor beams when eventually the bathroom is stripped out and replaced.

    I believe this will be my cost and am prepared to pay.
