Hi all, I am a carpenter/general builder of 25 years and have been lurking in the shadows around here picking up tips for the many bathroom and kitchens that I do.
Don't worry, I'm not a "dot and dabber" : ), in fact, I'm very picky about my tiling !
I've finally joined as I have a problem with my wetroom at home and wanted some professional advice before going any further!
I bought a kit from ebay with the form, latex, skrim and corner parts and did as the instructions advised, one year later and I notice some grout loose, followed by a wet spot on the ceiling below.
I took up the tiles this morning and found that there is loads of water underneath, the adhesive and also the latex seems not to have made a good bond with the board. On taking up the tiles, I noticed that some of the tanking is now ripped, I suppose I will have to remove the first course of wall tiles and completely re-tank the whole floor and lower wall, or is there a chance I can get away with sealing evrything down with a new tanking coat?
