Hi,

I looked at a potenial job today a shower room which had been tiled before and they want the floor retiled.

The last tiler didnt tile it right so the water was leaking through the wall

Can anybody give me some advice on how to get the correct gradient needed from the wall to the trap.

I have been advised already to use bal render and the gradient drop from wall to floor should be 8mm.

Room is around 5.5sqm and has a concrete substrate.

Any advice tips would be great.

Thanks

Paul

Did he use any tanking as it's leaking thru the wall.

it does sound like no waterproofing installed,as for falls to waste do you have a british standard as we have in oz its 1 in 60 to showers and 1 in 80 outside.

hi shogun

i have found a video clip that will help you out big time mate!!
i will start a thread 'wet room floor to falls' it will show you how to form your falls

ed

also mate, regarding your query, the wet room should be ripped out and started again imo
is it a raised former or flush in the concrete?
