    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.
