STEPS FOR re-tile-and-waterproof-shower-recess-walls

Tornbegin, we carefully remove the shower screen and wall tiles .As the tiles arernadhered to the wall lining it is not possible to pry the tiles from the wallrnlining, instead we remove the wall lining and tiles using a precisionrntool to cut out the wall tiles and lining to provide a neat finish so that yournwill not need to worry about damage to areas outside the shower.

If necessary, we treat any rotten framing timber in the wallrncavity by either replacing or reinforcing with new timber framing beforerninstalling fresh new wall linings, using either plasterboard or sheeting- thernproduct used is dependent on the product that has been used to the remainder ofrnthe bathroom to ensure consistency in wall finishes

Once the new wall lining has been installed, we prime thernarea and fill any penetrations or joins in the sheeting with fast curernpolyurethane

The first coat of our 2 step waterproofing system is thenrnapplied, followed by a second application once the first application has cured.

Next we install the tiles to the shower recess walls,rnfollowed by the grout.

Caulking is the silicone product used to fill the verticalrnjunctions where the tiles meet, and the horizontal junctions where the wallrntiles meet the shower base.

New plumbing fittings are installed if you have opted tornupgrade fittings, or any existing tap covers and shower heads are re-installed.

To finish, we install a new shower screen.
