Breifly In the process of replacing my bathroom suite with new bath , toilet , tiles etc.
I have a shower over bath and it has been leaking quite badly. Hard to tell for how long but maybe years .
The floorboard under the drip is rotten , enough to stick a screwdriver a good 2cm in to it. Problem is its also half under 2 walls.
Approx 1/2 of the board is under and internal wall width ways and each end protrudes under other walls ( flat conversion )
If I set at with a chisel to remove as much of the rot as possible how do I replace it ,or do I just leave a gap?. Not a load bearing area , it will be under the new bath but really want to check the joists under the floorbaord are OK and not rotten too.
At the moment the bath ,tap feeds, waste pipes and some hardwood is all in the way so even getting a good look at the extent of the water damage is tricky .
Cant believe downstairs doesnt have a large damp spot on their bathroom ceiling but notings been said. WWYD.
