[QUOTE="gohan2091, post: 975425, member: 56302"] Citizen's advice says I need to get some professional opinions in writing with a quote to fix it. Is anyone local to me that could help? I'm in Norfolk. Plumber keeps repeating the same thing over and over. That he warned me my walls needed squaring before the tiling was done (he didn't) and it's not possible to tile a room that's not square (and still have acceptable results). I've noticed he used standard plasterboard behind the shower bath which is not waterproof. He said verbally to me that the tiles create a waterproof barrier but I understand grout and tiles only makes it water resistant not water proof. Despite this, there is exposed plasterboard at the very top because he didn't scribe cut the tiles at the top row, just left me with a gap that he says I csn paint.The shelving unit he originally made out of standard plasterboard but later remade it using green MDF. He obviously doesn't know what he is doing and is learning on the job. From his preparation photos, he didn't scrim tape the concrete boards for the floor before tiling so tiles could potentially crack over time. The way he tiled the bath panel means if there is a leak there is no way to access the pipework without destroying the bath panel. [/QUOTE]
