Tanking - do you bother?

[Deleted member 9966]

Just started stripping back my en-suite shower cubicle.. I knew it was going to be bad.. but didn't realise it was going to be this bad.

this shows why we now tank an installation in bathrooms/wet rooms :smilewinkgrin:

Liz, that is oh so common, seen it hundreds of times. Tank all the time

and can I just add, that bathroom is only 6 years old.... and who can see the lip on the shower tray? no wonder the water was able to creep up behind the tiles :mad2:

If you need some help Liz let me know, you provide the bacon butties or oatcakes and I will give you a day on the bathroom. Nothing booked till the 10th so I have some spare time.

Try to convince the customer but there choice at the end of the day.

Did have to do a regrout on a shower once, all the studwork on one side of the shower was gone, rotten to the core.

hi liz

make sure you let that timber dry out completely before you go any further and try and get a coat of timber/rot treatment on..kill any bacteria/spores that can lead to other issues!
