Luxury Coach Lifestyles - View Single Post - advice on replacing kitchen tile with granite

tuga · 05-19-2008, 01:41 AM

I have 3 granite tiles that have cracked. My Newell is a 1999 with black granite tiles. When I purchased the coach the same 3 granite tiles were broken and as a condition of the sale they were replaced with new ones. Now, 2 years later the same new tiles are broken. This leads me to believe that the subfloor is not supporting the granite tiles. It seems like repairing the same 3 tiles would be futile!

Also the grouting seems to be drying out. Has anyone ever re-grouted a tile floor in a Newell? Does the old grout have to be removed? Or can you apply new grouting over the old?

Any help will be appreciated.
