Well this one has been a challenge.
Despite the fact I've done a fair bit of tiling ,I've never done a shower ,before.
Basically ,there was a complete failure of the waterproofing ( Done in the days before proper ,membrane ,waterproofing)
Firstly it was removing the old broken screen.
Then removal of the existing tiling and wall sheeting.
The framework had rot in it from the constant exposure to moisture.
I cut out the affected areas.
Rebuit the framework.
Removed the water damaged hob.
Air chiselled out the existing floor tiles.
Resheeted the walls
A plumber was then engaged to replace the aging drains.
I built a new hob.
Then a qualified waterproofer was engaged to do the waterproofing.
I then manufactured screeding guides ,and set the screed with a sand cement mix.
Some days later I tiled the floor,( cold weather making for slow drying)
Finally I tiled the walls and hob.
Then new taps and shower rose were fitted.
A new screen will be installed by a local company ,specialising in fabrication of shower screens.
All in all I'm happy with the finished results.
