[Closed] On the Tiles

Very similar here, shower tray leak has gubbed the gyproc wall behind shower and floor too. I'm gonna lift tile floor and find suitable alternative, and never tile a floor again.

Plan on ripping wall off, replacing plasterboard, tank and fire wet wall on.

It's a pita.

I reckon your chances of identifying that exact tile are slim. You might be better off seeing if you can track down whoever specced the bathroom in the first place and asking them if they can, at least, remember where the tiles came from, if not the exact model.

Oh size is 60 x 30mm

Yeah I'm not holding out a lot of hope!

Think it was mentioned in a similar thread, but check under the bath for spares that the fitter might have hidden rather than carting off to the tip.

I've checked the loft

The bath panel is well stuck on but I may venture there...

Theres loads of instructions in the docs left with the house over the bathroom it was fitted in 2017 but no instructions

When you re-do the shower, use a Mapei kit, 100% it won’t leak again

If it’s a wall mounted thermostatic, don’t use the adapters that come with them (they all leak), use a plate

If you need to reboard the wall don't use standard gyproc plasterboard either, go for moisture board.

I'd then use the shower waterproofing kit mentioned above and possibly consider using a 2 part waterproof grout too to make sure.

If you're tiling the floor it's also worth considering that an awful lot of floor tiles aren't actually waterproof and will need sealing afterwards. Typically these will include a lot of ceramic and natural tiles such as travertine and even slate, surprisingly.

I think i recognise those from tops tiles , i could be wrong though, plus it probably wont matter as they either wont have them anymore or the batch numbers will be different,
can you not take out shower area and do a different tile in that . Thats what i would do ,
gyproc then tank . doesnt matter if its moisture board if you tank, cement board is better than cyproc . use a decent cement based adhesive , grout then spray with grout protector , also use a decent silicone micromax or dowcorning

The screen runs over the tiles

I think I'm in for a re tile....

Might be easier choosing a contrasting tile, possibly the same size, so that the shower area is a different colour. Would a dark grey marble / stone / slate look tile go well with the light grey (probably a more technical term for that light stone colour) that you have in the rest of the room? Saves searching for the perfect match that probably won't quite.

Theres no clear divide it's a corner shower over 2x walls and the screen runs in the middle of all the tiles.

I did wonder about doing the floor and 1 tile up the wall as in an almost skirting board fashion.

Really bloody Annoying really as the rest of it's a tidy job. And I looked like it was one of the few rooms I didn't need to do anything too

Might just save up and redo it all.

I hate houses.
