Hello everyone

Our shower wall has small cracks between the tiles. Moisture is seeping into the gaps (see photo). What is the best way to address this? Do I need to open up the entire wall?


Thank you very much and best regards,

Stephan

I don't understand now. Why was there no drying phase?

Since we bought it from the developer, I do not know how long the drying phase was. I was told that repeated cleaning of the tiles with vinegar cleaner attacks the grout and makes it permeable. Sounds logical to me. Do you have a tip on how to clean the tiles more gently? Thank you and regards
