We recently moved into this place and the shower has this crack in the tiles.

I imagine this is quite bad in terms of humidity creeping into the wall?

Is there a way to fix this without having to redo the entire wall?

Thanks for thinking along!

Just curious, did you end up removing enough material to observe any mold growth? I’m always wondering how bad these things actually get behind the scenes.

There was no mold - the crack wasn't there long and there was a relatively thick adhesive bed which stopped the water getting to the cement board.
