Hi I think this is quite reasonable. Still need to look at the workmanship, if very rough then not worth it cos it will cost u even more next time if u wan to change it or any pop up of ur tiles

i asked an indon contractor once and he said the following are possible;

- not enough of the 'gum' applied when installing.
- wrong % combinatoin of cement and sand.
- the 'slab' (concrete foundation) is not properly done so when certain parts of the slab sinks, it pops out.
- the 'slab' also needs to be done once, properly dried then only apply a second layer of cement for the tiles to stick to.  A lot of short-cut guys does this in one step instead of two steps.

i've also heard of cases in apartments where because the air-cond below is on all the time, then the unit above gets pop-ping tiles due to heat / cold differentiation.

May I know when u install the tiles? How many years already? The mrt project may be one of the reason , if not mistake ur tiles is 2x2 tiles if the floor is not flat enough or didn't do sand Screeding last time when u install the tiles, this problems will occur especially the Mrt work ard ur area.

Unlikely becos of moisture
