Whereas the kitchen tends to be more workable and the issues relatively easy to fix, the bathroom can be far harder to handle when it starts presenting issues. This could be the time you need to call in a professional in your Adbolton Nottinghamshire East Midlands area.

We serve these local areas too:

Given that the bathroom tends to be a highly damp location due to a reasonable amount of water being splashed around while bathing, it can start to reveal some indications of wear and tear in vulnerable places. These are normally in the seams where a shower tray or tub meets the wall tiles.

Absence of correct sealing on the edges of wetrooms and shower trays can prove to be a big obstacle as they can be the weak point where the water and mould eventually wear down and begin leaking water through and slowly damaging plasterboards.

A common sign of this situation consists of a moist smell in the bathroom. Sometimes, it can show up on the lower levels first. A stain point will show up on the ceiling boards as a result of taking in water from the bathroom leakages above. Apart from such a stain being an eyesore, there is an impending threat if there are electric wires near the boards.

Such a leakage would need to be dealt with rapidly by determining the real dripping location and correcting at the earliest opportunity to avoid any threat from escalating.

These sort of issues normal in bathroom areas for two primary factors. One is normally incorrect setup and insufficient sealing of the edges of bathtubs and shower trays. The other may be as a result of aging.

Some plumbing professionals may fail to choose the optimum possible location for installing a shower tray or tub which can result in dripping issues later on. For example, a shower head put in a location near the window may lead to the shower sprays falling on the window sill and standing there.

This can provide a future issue simply due to the fact that if the grouting or sealer used there is not waterproof and is thought to be ‘porous’, water will leak in and make its way down to the underlying plaster and wood.

During building and repair work, it’s best to ensure that your contractor or technician utilises top quality waterproof grout and silicone in your bathroom as water tends to reach unforeseen places in the bathroom after a shower.

When it comes to bathtubs, a common and frequent issue for most bathtubs appears to be caulking or sealing which splits regularly. Some house owners are surprised. The silicon fractures or tends to pull away from the wall after a couple of months.
Bead size has a lot to do with it. The fact that the width of the opening between the tub and the wall is irregular means there will be areas that are broader while others are narrower, making it challenging to find the best size bead to utilise.

If you utilise a larger bead, then you end up having an overflow in the narrower area without the silicon finding its direction into the gap. When you choose a smaller bead, your silicon winds up being inadequate in the larger areas because it vanishes into the area without filling it.

A lot of house owners have actually shared that while choosing on DIY, they use utmost care to prep the location to counter any wetness by thoroughly scrubbing and cleaning with alcohol and letting it dry for a couple of days prior to the caulking. Despite this most people are doing a good job of it, but they still lament that it stops working way faster than they would have hoped.

One technique is to make sure that you fill the tub with water prior to caulking. This ensures that the tub is at its ideal weight and stretched out to leave an optimal gap. When you do, the silicon has a much better opportunity of remaining in its place for longer, presuming you have actually done the preparation work well.

Shower Tray Problems

In many cases when handling a leaky shower tray, we have actually had to remove the tiles around the border of the tray. Additional examination normally reveals moist plywood that is heavily water damaged specifically if it is not WPB marine plywood.
In one circumstance, we noticed that the border of the shower tray still had the plastic covering that it came in. It is such things that make it apparent that the initial installer was just what we describe as a cowboy contractor, meaning they did a poor fitting.

Regrettably for the property owner, something that ought to have simply been a relatively straightforward repair job, turns out to be a project, and you would not desire another cowboy contractor botching the repair work.

Contracting a proven, meticulous and qualified technician is essential in salvaging a now complex matter without costing you an arm and a leg.
