So the shower has been leaking for over 3 years. The old landlord's handyman has tried fixing it intermitently - but the problem has persisted. You can see how its rotted away the skirting board to the bottom left of the shower door. After some consulting with Sunshine's dad, we decided the problem was quite likely to be the door itself. So we set about taking it off. Yes - Mr handyman hadn't grouted behind the door - and had sealed bits that were meant to be left as channels for water flow.
On further investigation though - we find that there is masses of damp behind some of the tiles ... hmmm ... this is going to be a bigger job than we anticipated.
