Hi,
We have been living in our house for 7 years, and have had a persistent problem with the shower in our en-suite leaking, to such a point we stopped using it 2 years ago...
The property was new when we bought it and Persimmon the 'builder' failed to fix the leak long term despite multiple attempts.
Today I plucked up the courage/effort to start taking it out. Didn't take long to find out what was wrong - there were tiles missing! - at the point the screen passes over the freeze on some of the tiles, they had simply left them out to avoid the standoff, well it would have taken 10mins to do the right thing?! :incazzato:
Anyhow, all tiles are now off, and I can see the state of the plasterboard behind which I need to replace. I intend replacing this with moisture resistant PB, tanking and re-tiling with products recommended on here.
My question is with regard to the position of the tray - it currently sits against the studding, with the PB above the tray, should I leave it like this or pull the tray out so that the PB goes behind?
Any other tips gratefully recieved!
