This Badly installed tile substrate led this shower cubicle to leak at the bottom row of tiles, through to the ceiling below.
There was alot of flexibility due to the voids behind the plaster board, and the pipework feeding the shower, was not chased into the wall which meant the shower tray could not sit flush against the substrate.
New boarding and bonding applied, we then managed to get some expanding foam in to fill the gaps and voids up behind where we were not removing.
Another round of sealing in-between the tray, And after the plaster board was installed with a full bonding bed and screwed.
It was then treated, and made water resistant to re-use the old tiles which needed cleaning.
All grouted and sealed 1 final time and tested a couple of days later with no more leaks or signs of damp.
Customer was over the moon and we were just happy that this was resolved for them.
