Leaking shower tiles.

The water has been leaking through the damaged tiles over a long period of time.

The damaged area of the shower enclosure

So, lets get to work and see what the damage is under the tiles. Having removed the rotten board l’m left with solid timber to build up the platform.

I need to add a 19mm thick board to bring the level up to and ready for the new tiles.

Using expanding form to sick the new board down.

Now l’m ready to tile this area but l’ve decided to use large tiles instead of the mosaic to cover a larger area.

Larger tiles to help make a better water resistant surface

After the tile adhesive is dry time to grout and add silicone to the edges.

Grouting and silicone

Job done and water tight!
