    Hi there, we fitted a large Fiora shower tray into our upstairs bathroom a few years ago when we got the house refurbished. (pics attached) Problem is the weight of the tray has caused it sink into the wooden floor beneath, creating a 1mm gap between grout and tray and leaking a lot of water...

    Leaking shower tray - Silicon advice please!

    Re-tiling A Previously Leaking Shower - Thinking Of Boarding It

    I found my shower was leaking slightly as I was getting damp patches downstairs. I'm thinking a lot of this was due to the nature of the tiles (possibly slightly porous and all the edges were unglazed?) plus the grouting hadn't been finished that well I don't believe. The missus has decided she...

Plumber came in today to fit the shower head and...
