This shower had been leaking for a long time, the customers brought the house off a builder who had done it up (bodged it up more like, the house was unsafe from the electrics). The customer had said they thought the shower tray had dropped which it had about an inch, the reason was the water had rotted the timbers underneath. Customer wanted to keep original tray and enclosure which was a bit of a mare! We found the enclosure had been tiled over otherwise it didn't fit so unfortuantly wehad to do the same which made it more of a pain trying to tile inside the enclosure!
View attachment 4690 That's me! I had some help but he's not very good at taking pics plus the quality on the old iphone is a bit rubbish (must remember to take a camera!)
View attachment 4691 The quality tiling!
View attachment 4692 The base which the tray was sat on.
View attachment 4693 The stud wall had got soaked as well making a right mess we replaced part of the stud work and added more noggins! The other two walls were solid walls.
View attachment 4694 This was the supports for that ply base absolutely rotten through.
View attachment 4695My new base made out of blocks and cemented in place (this ensuite was on a ground floor) The walls were left to dry out, strange how damp they were even though the shower hadn't been used for months!

View attachment 4697 Once the walls were dry we replaced the plaster board, tanked the walls and got the tray and enclosure back in (that day forgot to take photo's) The next day I straightened the walls up with the adhesive and started tiling.
View attachment 4698 View attachment 4699All tiled!
View attachment 4700 Last thing was to put back the new shower unit as the old one had cracked (presume whoever put it in had tightened up the screws too much!
