Shaving down bottom of door / grout on tiles

€80
Task Assigned

Description

I have got two tiles that have lost their grout and risen up ( due to underfloor heating) meaning the door of our bathroom doesn’t open properly. I need someone to take the door off and shave the bottom down slightly (so that it can open) and put the door back on. Also I need grout to be placed between the tiles that have come up. Thanks

@Sean H. Perfect , that works. I’ll let the tenants know and send you their number

Hi Brian, Yes I can get to you Monday morning.

@Sean H. Hi Sean, sorry for the delay. We will go ahead with this if it still works for you? It appears this should be sufficient if it’s adhesive that works with underfloor heating (c2 s1), was it along those lines you were thinking ?

Ok no worries

@Paul M. I’m having a think and liaising with the tenants as it’s a rental property - need to decide whether to do a bigger permanent job now or a temporary solution. Will be in touch, thanks

Ok that sucks. So do you still want the door cut?

@Paul M. Hi Paul, so it isn’t actually the bathroom itself, it’s the hall way that leads to the bathroom, it’s concrete I believe with underfloor heating laid on top. It’s basement level and it’s only a couple of tiles causing the issue (I’m not sure why it’s not the full floor), and the issue I believe stems from the fact a decoupling matt wasn’t placed down when they were put in

Also is this bathroom on ground floor or upstairs?

Paul M. 11 days ago

Brian it depends on what sort of floor is under the tiles, is it timber or concrete?

@Sean H. (Sorry for all the questions) do you think if we do this and have them glued down, could it then be an issue if we then need to lift all the tiles up to place the matt under. Ie could the tiles then be stuck and unmovable. Just trying to weigh whether we need to do the bigger job with decoupling matt now or if there is a temporary solution

Sean H. 11 days ago

Yes it should be fine.

@Sean H. Ok thanks and do you think it’s okay putting the adhesive on top of the underfloor heating without a decoupling matt?

@Sean H. Hi Sean, yeah so we are currently renting this house out, when we spoke to a tiler they said we would need to take up all the tiles on the basement level to put down a mat under the tiles. As this is quite a big job we are looking for a temporary solution while it’s being rented. If it is just two tiles causing the issue do you we could put adhesive under them and re grout ? There’s no leaks. Thanks

The tiles need to be lifted and re-laid with adhesive and then grouted. You won't solve the problem by just grouting. Has there been any leak or water damage?

@Sean H. Hey - it’s in Blackrock. I would need the door shaved down and also the grout provided if you would have? Thanks

Hi, yes, I can definitely shave down the bottom of the door. If you provide the grout, I can do the grouting between the tiles for you as well. Thanks!

@Murilo A. Hi Murilo Thanks for coming back, would you have something to shave down the bottom of the door and have you got grout for between the tiles ? Thanks
