Hi,
Recently I have had some tenants move into my house. They reported that a small leak occasionally occurs when somebody is showering. It appears that there is a lot of steam generated in the bathroom (there aren’t any windows). The tiling on the floor is not the best and it appears that the moisture, perhaps from the shower is going behind the toilet/ bath area.
I have been looking for a solution as I am about to go away on holiday and don’t have time to have the floor ripped up. I know the water is seeping through a small crack in the grout at the end of the bathroom. I have been looking at sealers and see that you recommend Seal Guard. Is this any good and where can I purchase it? I see you mention NETT; if I could just have a number or email I would order it.
Also do you know if there is paste form that I can apply? Can anyone recommend the best product to use for a problem like this? It would be much appreciated.
I was thinking of using the sealant round the back of the toilet, then once this has dried place a plastic sheet down, sealed round the side. Then follow this with a piece of bathroom carpet to go in the same area.
I know it won’t look pretty but I just need it to do the job for roughly six months. Once I come back from my travels and the tenants have left I can have this ripped out. Any help or advice would be greatly received.
Many thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply an extractor fan has been fitted that goes into the loft and then outside. I dont know what make or model i purchased but it came from b&q. The fan does not seem to be pumping it out in a hurry, but it does seem ok. You can put a piece of paper to it and it will hold it up. The guy who fitted it said the output was good.
