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.

Job done and water tight!

Bath seal and shower pole fixed

The shower pole attachment is broken and the bath need resealing around the edge.

So off the B&Q to source a new fitting. This can take a bit of time and persistance to find the right item & at a reasonable cost. There where items costed at over £50 and not always the best solution.

The seal around the bath also needs attention, as you can see the seal is messy and probably not affective. So now I have the old shower fitting removed from the wall I will remove the old silicon and clean up the area, this is quite a time consuming job as all the old silicon should be removed.

re sealed bath edge

There that looks better now the new silicon is added. Now to fit the new shower pole.

Great job! Now let’s give everything a clean.
