Problem wet locations in the house are a typical event and in many cases, they tend to be high usage locations such as the cooking area sink and the bathroom.

Whereas the cooking area tends to be more workable and the problems relatively solvable, the shower room can be far more difficult to deal with when it begins causing problems. This could be the time you need to call in a professional in your Rylands Nottinghamshire East Midlands area.

We serve these local areas too:

Given that the shower room tends to be an extremely wet area due to a fair quantity of water being splashed around while showering, it can start to show some signs of wear and tear in susceptible places. These are generally in the seams where a shower tray or bathtub meets the wall tiles.

Absence of appropriate sealing on the edges of wetrooms and shower trays can prove to be a huge challenge as they can be the weak spot where the water and mould ultimately erode and start seeping water through and gradually damaging plasterboards.

Bath Sealing in Rylands

A typical symptom of this situation consists of a moist smell in the shower room. 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 shower room leakages above. Apart from such a stain being an eyesore, there is an impending threat if there are electrical wires close to the boards.

Such a leakage would have to be dealt with quickly by determining the actual leaking area and correcting at the earliest opportunity to avoid any danger from intensifying.

These sort of problems are common in shower room locations for 2 main reasons. One is generally inappropriate setup and insufficient sealing of the edges of bathtubs and shower trays. The other may be as a result of aging.

Some plumbing technicians may cannot choose the optimum possible place for installing a shower tray or bathtub which can lead to leaking problems later on. For instance, a shower head placed in a location close to the window may result in the shower sprays falling on the window sill and standing there.

This can provide a future problem simply due to the fact that if the grouting or sealer utilised there is not water resistant and is considered ‘permeable’, water will seep in and make its way to the underlying plaster and timber.

During construction and repair work, it’s best to make sure that your home builder or technician utilises top quality water resistant grout and silicone in your shower room as water tends to reach unforeseen locations in the shower room after a shower.

When it comes to bathtubs, a typical and re-occurring problem for a lot of bathtubs seems to be caulking or sealing which splits regularly. Some house owners are amazed. The silicon cracks or tends to pull away from the wall after a few months.
Bead size has a lot to do with it. The fact that the width of the opening in between the bathtub and the wall is uneven means that there will be sections that are larger while others are narrower, making it difficult to find the ideal size bead to utilise.

If you utilise a bigger bead, then you wind up having an overflow in the narrower section without the silicon discovering its way into the space. When you select a smaller sized bead, your silicon ends up being ineffective in the bigger spaces since it vanishes into the space without filling it.

A lot of house owners have shared that while opting on DIY, they take care to prep the area to counter any wetness by completely scrubbing and cleaning up with alcohol and letting it dry for a few days prior to the caulking. In spite of this a lot of people are doing a good job of it, but they still lament that it stops working much quicker than they would have desired.

One trick is to make sure that you fill the bathtub with water prior to caulking. This guarantees that the tub is at its ideal weight and stretched out to leave an optimal space. Once you do, the silicon has a much better opportunity of remaining in place for longer, assuming you have done the preparation work well.

Shower Tray Problems

Sometimes when dealing with a leaky shower tray, we have had to get rid of the tiles around the border of the tray. Additional investigation generally reveals wet plywood that is greatly water damaged particularly 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 preliminary installer was what we describe as a cowboy home builder, meaning they did a poor fitting.

Sadly for the property owner, what should have simply been a relatively straightforward repairing task, ends up being a project, and you would not want another cowboy home builder botching the repair work.

Contracting a highly regarded, careful and skilled technician is vital in salvaging an already complex matter without costing you an arm and a leg.
