So I thought I would give you guys some background info and an overall view on the project.
This is the bathroom as it is:
As you guys will already be aware the leak is coming from the centre of the impey dec through the drain.
The plan is to remove the bottom row of tiles from the radiator wall and the back toilet wall and half the of wall toilet roll holder wall up to the shower glass. This will allow me to fully remove the floor and also adjust the radiator pipework so that it comes through the wall rather than the floor.
I will then strengthen the existing wooden floor with timber noggings overlay the whole floor with 25mm wbp ply, which I will glue and screw down every 100mm. I will then stick and screw down 20mm wedi board on the floor so that the floor is level with the fundo ligno former (1200 x 1450). The drain will set in a former provided by wedi so there is no undue movement.
The last row of tiles will then be reinstalled I have a couple of boxes spare. on the floor 900 x 600 tiles will be fitted, with matching mosaics on the former and the wedi seat. on the wall i will put on 4 sheets of the 3x1 tiles slabs with a rectangle alcove. I will keep the existing shower head but will replace the shower valve with a hans grohe shower select system. I will remove the existing kohler glass, and fit a bespoke frameless enclosure with a door!
I have 2 weeks before the missus has said she will chuck everything away as the house is a mess!!! Tick Tock!!
