[QUOTE="Paula, post: 781210"] JUST A THOUGHT..... I'm loathe to do that as that will probably damage the membrane. From what you are saying, I just wonder whether the problem is arising with the shape of the shower tray? If you are now saying that it is normal for water to get under the tiles around the drain (I thought before everyone said that this shouldn't happen unless the adhesive was spread unevenly and there were lots of gaps?), but that is OK as gravity will cause it to fall into the drain down the slope, then maybe our slope is not steep enough? That may have lead to more 'pooling' of water under the tiles than would normally be expected, and therefore it would take much longer for the water to evaporate through the grout, leading to permanent damp patches (which is what we had pre-epoxy). Now we have stopped evaporation through the epoxy, the water is just migrating to where there is normal grout, through which it can evaporate (this is how plants move water from their roots to their leaves, as evaporation takes place through pores in the leaves and leads to a difference in water potential from leaf to root, hence flow of water). So that's why we have damp patches beyond the shower tray. How would I find out if anyone else has had this problem with an Impey tray? When I originally spoke to them, they said that I should not have any permanently wet patches and that it was a tiling problem! [/QUOTE]
