susanne5564 Feb 2022 20:32In our shower area, two tiles are partially hollow. The tiler wants to replace them, but this will damage the waterproofing membrane. He plans to seal it with Seccoral. I’m not convinced by this, as I was very meticulous about proper waterproofing and naturally don’t want any leaks now. Has anyone ever used webersys 891 for hollow wall tiles and can share their experience?
By the way, these are wall tiles.

Hello. Well, if they are already hollow, they should be removable without much effort. The waterproofing layer can be replaced quite easily if it gets damaged. After all, it’s not a swimming pool but just a shower. There isn’t liters of water running through the joint.. But how can two tiles be hollow on the wall?

But how can two tiles be hollow behind on the wall?Just like the ones on the floor.In our rental apartment from 1998, in 2000 we had a situation where 3…4…5 rows of tiles above the bathtub, over about 2.5 m (8 ft) in length, completely detached from the wall. The entire structure was only held together by the grout. The bulge was definitely about 20–30 cm (8–12 inches).
Regarding the actual topic: New build and under warranty? Have it repaired.
If you want to fix it yourself, carefully remove the grout, then the tiles will likely come off more easily; otherwise, leave them as they are.

Tiles break if you tap them with a hammer; otherwise, they won’t break!
