Hi,
We have had a problem with leaking bath/shower for a good few months now. We've had the sealent around the bath re-done twice and the tiles around the shower re-grouted and neither has sorted the problem. Both times the sealent begins to leak again significantly within a few weeks.
We have been advised by a plumber that the problem is the tiles are not fitted properly to the bath and we need the bathroom re-tiled (we trust this guy and he wasn't offering to do the work). We've had a quote for this and have been told that the tiles can't be removed as it is plasterboard so he'd have to tile over the top of the existing tiles (pics attached). I'm not convinced this will sort the problem, from reading around it seems to me that the problem might be the bath moving whem someone is in it, possibly due to the floorboards being dodgy.
Basically I just want the problem sorted - would retiling the bathroom help or should I get someone to look at re-installing the bath or maybe a new shower? I've attached a few pictures, any more info required then let me know.
cheers
