Hi Guzz here again RE- wanting to get rid of excess water from around sides of the bath
someone asked for more info. Shape around bath is similar to a slice of
melon. at its widest, its a half a tile. Like idea of bead to raise and
slope towards bath. Had mosaic tiles around but grouting decayed due to
water collection. The base is made of MDF. Im willing to raise and slope
to bath, but concerned how to make this safe and strurdy. l suspect l
would have to raise 2-3 inches to ensure water flows into bath when
showering. Can anyone describe this as simple as possible. l wanna do it myseslf,
i assume the problem is from wall to bath, take all old stuff
off and out so you have clean area to work from,you could move the bath
including pipes &drain .raising bath you could rase 1/2 to3/4 inch and
lower other end and then seal properly if the gap is big try packing out
with wood cut to fit then seal and tile
strurdy myseslf,
Man, you can not even spell. What makes you think you can tackle a water
problem?
First off, ur problem is the base.
MDF is NOT water friendly! It will soak up water like a sponge & swell,
thus, any type of water that gets under or around it, will utterly destroy
the MDF.
If you have tile, why didnt you use some concrete backerboard, for the base? Thats the perferred method, as it wont absorb the water, & self destruct under the tile. Rip it all out & start all over again, using the concrete backer board over ur sub floor, so that you will have a good base. Put some ''thin-set'' under the concrete backerboard so that it doesnt ''move then, drill holes into the backerboard & screw it down tight. Now, ur ready to put the thing set & tiles on the floor & get it right this time. I wish you well.. Jesse
