Shower Floor Revamp

I wouldn't bother with Epoxy and please mind your language.

No worries, Cheers guys. Really appreciate the advice. I will order all the bits and pieces and have a WORD REMOVED. Just going back to grout, is the general consensus not to bother with epoxy grout or what?

were all human we make mistakes the moderators on here run a strict forum (witch is good)

back on topic i think your former is flexing and may need attention if you remove tiles it may damage the waterproofing (if it goes over former) so try to be careful if you do damage it it needs to be fixed you can try the re grout but i don't hold much hope of that working

good luck

hmm, ok. I think it really does need sorting. I guess if I damage the membrane removing the tiles I can replace it.

Cheers

The tuffdec2 trays need sanding to key them ready for sticking the tanking membrane down with flexible adhesive...as these trays are screwed down and need to be tanked.

If you have grout cracking then ye.. it sonds like some deflection and maybe the tray is not supported properly.. these trays can span 450 centred on joists etc no problem if the joists are all flat and level.. but now and again they will flex if not screwed down properly

PHG Wetrooms sell the Tuffdec2 trays along with the Marmox showerstone, both trays sit directly on the joists but they also sell the Marmox shower tray that needs boarding between the joists or can inset into a screed.

I found the tuff2 is a strong material but still needs support.

Cheers,

I think I'm gonna give it a go. Will remove the porcelain tiles ontop of the tray, repair the membrane (if required) then lay the mosaic ontop.

Obviously if i find the tray is busted or not lying correctly I will look at resetting / replacing it.
