:mad2:Hi, we have a large shower on the ground floor which we renovated the base is concrete. We removed the old wall tiles and had the walls replastered and retiled, the floor tiles were put on top of the old tiles, trap is in the middle of the floor.
A few months after it was completed we noticed damp in the ajoining room so had the waste pipe redone to make sure there wasn't a leak from the pipework underground but damp is still getting through. We then thought it might be rising damp through the ajoining wall so removed the skirting and some plaster to check the damp proof course, this was OK. Water is getting through the walls from the edges where the floor tiles meet the wall tiles, we flooded the floor and could see the water literally going through to the other room (where we have removed the skirting board) I can't believe this has happened so soon after the tiling was finished.
We have since taken up the floor tiles, the old floor tiles are still down, the new wall tiles are still on and we would like to know how to proceed without redoing the whole lot, any help would be appreciated.
