Hi

The council fitted a wet room about 20 years ago. I have had to replace tiles due to a leak from above.

I am now struggling to find out how to replace the black strip that tore when i removed it.

I hope from the photo's you can see the black strip was glued onto the tiles then a black bead of something was used to bridge the gap between the floor and the black strip

Thanks for any help in advance.

I cant see any photos? was it the waterproof membrane you have cut? i hope not

What you are describing is the....cove former...

This a rubber strip about 4"..6"...and rounded/curved...

Glued to the floor/wall and is curved/rounded which runs up the wall,....with a lip on it for the bottom course off tiles to sit on....

Is the safety flooring(altro flooring)....damaged?...


20yrs ago.....that's lasted a real good time....


Post the pics up....

Just re reading yoyo...

The strip your describing is the transion strip....

This is how a wetroom is set out...

Usually come off the floor 4"and bead/laser around the wall ...and then fit the tile/vinly strip...(this is what your describing)...

Was black rubber..now these days white PVC ..this is the piece the tile sits into or onto...

Then a cove former is glued so you have a nice transion from floor up the wall(nice curve)...

Now carefully using a small screw driver,you should be able to move the black rubber strip towards you(away from the wall).....

This ....Should be glued onto the wall....so where you have ripped/broke it.....using a Stanley blade score it a few times then remove from wall,it will be hard as it should be glued on,so take yer time...

Then if you google you will need to replace/buy a new section and replace...

I use Jeden from Glasgow...this new part will need glued back on using F Ball adhesive you will get this when buying a new piece off the black rubber transion strip...


Post up pics....we can have a look.....
