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!

Bedroom Decorating

Mostly I am working in lived in homes, it’s great when you have and empty house to decorate but that’s not very often the situation. So, it’s important to have the room cleared as much as possible and get those dust sheets down covering all surfaces including the bed!

Clean and good quality dust sheets are alway used.

I move the heavy furniture to the centre of the room so I can work round and be able to reach the middle of the ceiling with an extended poll.

There, job done.

Bathroom shower Leak

By the looks of things this leaking has been going on for sometime as the water has now soaked the plasterboard and the skirting, which in made of MDF.

So, time to get to work. I have removed the damaged plaster and skirting and pulled back the flooring to allow to dry. I have also removed the shower screen as this is where the water is getting through. The shower screen needs a new seal and lowering a bit as the gap between the screen on the bath is too big.

There, job done, just needs painting.

Guttering Needs Replacing

The guttering has fallen off and is not now positioned under the tiles to catch the water.

Base cabinet fitted in kitchen.

The customer wanted to use the space available by having a base cabinet fitted with access to the existing corner cabinet already in place.

I suggested a 400 mm cabinet with door to match. I will cut the side panel to access through to the existing cabinet.

Once fitted and screwed in place a shelf was added and the surrounding trims fixed in place to cover the gaps.

The customer wants to paint the cabinet and trim, nice and tidying with minimal cost. Cabinet £45 from Howdens and £65 to fit.
