The cracks are not just in the corners but some are right through the middle. One of the bathrooms is hardly ever used so why would they have done this? Could it be that the slab is cracked? What would be the first steps to take with this, independent inspection and then raise with the builder? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Re: Cracked bathroom tiles, could this be from a cracked sla 2Aug 13, 2015 7:27 pm michme Hi All, My house was built approx 4 years ago and both bathrooms have multiple floor tiles cracked.

Get in contact with shop tiles were purchased from, , but get a inspector so you dont loose out from not knowing the truth.
