I had to lift some Ruabon quarry tiles to access hot and cold water pipes that fed the basin in the shower room as the hot had a dent in it where you put your foot, I re-routed the pipes round the shower plinth and wall.
The water had been leaking for 6 weeks to 2 months unknown as it had drained into the corner of the room where the 4" waste comes down from the bathroom upstairs.
The structure of the floor is this:
1. Ruabon quarry tiles
2. Adhesive- black colour
3. Cement
4. Scree.
5. concrete base.
I am not sure how long to leave it to dry out, the area lifted and where else the water went under the floor as well.
I am not entirely sure on the repair for the floor.
Scree then cement but not sure of the mix, 3 or 4 to 1?
And the adhesive I am guessing is std floor tile adhesive for quarry tiles?
I lifted the flat tiles and will sand off the grout and cement but I broke some of the cove base round top (skirting) and the two internal and external angle tiles.
Ruabon have not been manufacturing for 2 years and they can supply red but not heather cove base round tops but have none of the small angles I need.
Any suggestions for supplier for these please.
