[QUOTE="JimmyJ001, post: 988095, member: 60515"] In my lowly DIY experience and from what I've gathered from pro's on forums like this, I don't think so... well not to the standard that I would expect wtih my 20% knowledge and 0 experience on flooring. [B]Backstory[/B] This bathroom was converted to a wet room 3 years ago by a builder that I told to ef off after he tried to scam my mum. He was subsequently banned from MyBuilder.com and 2 years later this wetroom started leaking into the kitchen below> Anyway, this wetroom started to leak into the kitchen below when the shower was running. The early tell tale signs was the grout coming away and the floors creaked when you walked on them. When the flooring was lifted, I saw there was a waterproof membrane, but this was screwed into the thin plywood below [B]Present Day[/B] Due to budgetary constraints, we only had the flooring done. I was aware that proper tanking (I think 1 meter up the wall needed to be done. I did mentioned to the CEO of the company I was concerned about the expansion joints as silicone would fail sooner rather than later.I was told that tanking needed to go up the wall (1 metre I think) which confirmed what I read and wasn't aware of any alternatives except to take the tiles off the wall... and here we are... Sadly, my knowledge about tiling, flooring and wet rooms has been done on the fly during this 'project'. My mum just wants this over and done with. There's been so many issues during this whole process :o(( [/QUOTE]
