Hello,
The origonal color is beige. The color it is changing into is a very
blueish or greyish (almost like a shadow cast over it) and part of each tile
is affected. I did notice and inform the builder of a hairline crack in the
bottom (shower floor) tiles last year, but he said that the there was a
[rubber pan (liner) installed under the tile area intended to eliminate
further damage']. He then said the hairline crack was a 'settlement crack'
and should be OK. Strange thing too is that the tiles changing are not the
ones under the shower faucet but rather the ones on the farthest wall and
the attaching wall. The fact that it is spreading is really gettting to me.
I wanted a second opinion before I went to my lawyer on this, so thank you.
Thank you also "badgolferman" and M Ransley.
If you have any other opinions on this, please feel free.
Thanks.
God bless,
Kim
