🛠️ It’s What’s Behind the Finish That Counts! 🛠️
A busy week carrying out a shower refurbishment in Dunbar.
Originally installed around 14 years ago, this bathroom is still in great condition overall, including the fitted furniture, so there was no need for a complete replacement.
Over time, deterioration of the silicone sealant appears to have allowed moisture to pe*****te around the tray-to-wall junction, resulting in localised water damage to the flooring and adjoining stud partition.
With everything stripped back, we’ve been busy making sure the underlying issues are properly addressed before the new finishes go on.
Works carried out:
✅ Removed the existing shower enclosure, tray and wall panels
✅ Cut out and replaced water-damaged flooring
✅ Removed and replaced the rotten bottom rail of the adjoining stud partition with treated timber
✅ Treated affected floor joists and renewed insulation
✅ Installed cement board beneath the new shower tray
✅ Reboarded the walls with JACKOBOARD
✅ Tanked and waterproofed the shower area
✅ Installed new GROHE concealed shower pipework and controls
✅ Fitted the new 1500x800mm shower tray
The customer had also considered replacing the existing shower enclosure. However, being a high quality British-made product that was still in excellent condition, we recommended retaining it and simply replacing the seals, saving the expense of an unnecessary replacement.
Good workmanship isn’t always about replacing everything. It’s about knowing what’s worth keeping, what needs repairing and making sure the work behind the finished surfaces is done properly.
Everything is now prepared for the new wall panels on Monday, followed by refitting the original shower enclosure.
