Shower tray / walls

Post by handyman »

Ripped a failed shower cubicle out yesterday, and the tray was fixed with expanding foam! Never seen that before.

Also, they nearly got the walls done great, apart from nailing the cement boards (6mm :roll: ) on the walls, every wall had worked its way off the framework, and were moving a good 4mm when pushed in the middle. It was leaking everywhere.

How stupid is that...I'd have used treacle to stick it down. DIY'er, I'll bet....
