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!

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.
