• First place, cowboy builder did bathroom and kitchen (as discussed on here), complete anxiety with the whole flat and it makes me want to move. I half fear underneath all my tiles is damp mouldy shit from where he created leaks doing the work. I get the odd woodlouse to keep me company

    Taken the shower kick plate off and I've got some damp. Im hoping it is coming front the shower as pictured rather than something hidden behind the tiles.

    Would you just try get out all the old sealant on the outside and redo it?

  • Is there pipework on the wall you can see mould?

    It looks like the silicone is pealing around the edges already so could could easily cause moisture to get through. Do you have photos of the silicone within the shower too?

    I would defo be taking all that silicone off an redoing it anyway as its peeling quite a bit. It often peels if it has been spread to thin / to much pressure on it when smoothing out.

    I would also leave that kick plate off for a bit to give it some air, give the mould a good spray of some mould remover too, if you have a dehumidifier pop that in there for a few days.

    EDIT: The more I look at that picture the more I think I can see drips just underneath the front of the tray, it could be findings its way within the shower OR it might also be coming through the screen bar thing attached to the wall as there looks to be gaps (it should be fully sealed)
