Whereas the kitchen tends to be more manageable and the problems fairly solvable, the shower room can be way more difficult to manage when it starts presenting problems. This could be the time you need to call in a professional in your Red Hill Nottinghamshire East Midlands area.

We serve these local areas too:

Considering that the shower room tends to be an extremely wet area due to a fair quantity of water being splashed around while bathing, it can start to show some signs of wear and tear in vulnerable places. These are usually in the seams where a shower tray or bath tub adjoins the wall tiles.

Lack of correct sealing on the edges of wetrooms and shower trays can present a huge obstacle as they can be the weak spot where the water and mould eventually deteriorate and begin leaking water through and slowly causing damage to plasterboards.

Bath Sealing in Red Hill

A typical sign of this circumstance includes a wet smell in the shower room. In some cases, it can show up on the lower floors first. A stain point will show up on the ceiling boards as a result of taking in water from the shower room leaks above. Apart from such a stain being an eyesore, there is an imminent danger if there are electric wires near to the boards.

Such a leak would need to be dealt with quickly by identifying the actual dripping area and correcting at the earliest opportunity to prevent any danger from intensifying.

These sort of problems are common in shower room locations for two primary factors. One is usually inappropriate setup and insufficient sealing of the edges of tubs and shower trays. The other might be as a result of ageing.

Some plumbing technicians might cannot select the best possible location for setting up a shower tray or bath tub which can lead to dripping problems later. For example, a shower head placed in an area near to the window might lead to the shower sprays falling on the window sill and standing there.

This can provide a future problem merely because if the grouting or sealer used there is not water resistant and is considered ‘porous’, water will permeate in and make its way down to the underlying plaster and wood.

Throughout building and repair work, it’s the best idea to make sure that your builder or service technician utilises high-quality water resistant grout and silicone in your shower room as water tends to reach unexpected locations in the shower room after a shower.

Red Hill Shower Sealing

When it pertains to tubs, a common and frequent problem for most tubs appears to be caulking or sealing which cracks repeatedly. Some homeowners are surprised. The silicon cracks or tends to retreat from the wall after a number of months.
Bead size has a lot to do with it. The fact that the width of the opening in between the bath tub and the wall is uneven means that there will be areas that are larger while others are narrower, making it difficult to find the right size bead to use.

If you use a larger bead, then you wind up having an overflow in the narrower area without the silicon finding its direction into the gap. When you opt for a smaller sized bead, your silicon winds up being ineffective in the bigger areas because it vanishes into the area without filling it.

The majority of homeowners have shared that while deciding on DIY, they are careful to prep the area to counter any wetness by completely scrubbing and cleaning up with alcohol and letting it dry out for a number of days before the caulking. Regardless of this most people are doing a decent job of it, but they still lament that it fails much quicker than they would have desired.

One technique is to make sure that you fill the bath tub with water before caulking. This makes sure that the tub is at its optimal weight and extended to leave an optimal gap. As soon as you do, the silicon has a better chance of remaining in its place for longer, assuming you have done the prep work well.

Shower Tray Problems

In many cases when handling a leaking shower tray, we have needed to remove the tiles around the perimeter of the tray. Additional investigation usually reveals wet plywood that is greatly water damaged specifically if it is not WPB marine plywood.
In one instance, we noticed that the perimeter of the shower tray still had the plastic wrapping that it came in. It is such things that make it obvious that the preliminary installer was just what we describe as a cowboy builder, implying they did a poor job.

Sadly for the house owner, what should have merely been a relatively uncomplicated repairing job, ends up being a big job, and you would not want another cowboy builder botching the repair work.

Contracting a highly regarded, careful and proficient service technician is important in restoring a now intricate matter without costing you an arm and a leg.

Silicone Seal Replacing in Red Hill

To date, we’ve dealt with lots of uncomplicated cases where carrying out extensive cleaning and using a tube of silicon around the dripping edges has solved the problems.
However in some instances, we found the problem to have gone deeper, specifically when the setup was not installed correctly and second-rate products were used.
