What we found
The grout on the walls and the mosaic floor had worn, and the silicone in the corners and around the hob had broken down. That's where water gets behind the tiles. The tiles themselves were sound.
What we did
- Raked out the old grout from the walls and the mosaic floor.
- Cut out all the old silicone.
- Regrouted the walls and floor.
- Replaced every silicone joint in the corners, around the hob and at the floor junctions.
- Sealed the shower and left it to cure for 24 hours.
Why keep the original tiles?
Many older Sydney bathrooms have tiles you simply can't buy any more. Retiling means losing them, and usually weeks without a shower and a much bigger bill. If the tiles are still well fixed, regrouting and resealing can stop the leak and keep the bathroom's character. See our leaking shower repairs
