Thanks again all, so I had someone come take a look tonight.

His first thoughts were the tiles  ??? - 3 of the 4 walls are tiled, with the wall affected by damp the other side being on of the ones tiled. Now there is some discoloration but not a massive amount.  :-\



As to OOMV6, hinted it has been like that for some time. To be honest there were small traces of it when I moved in (Aug 2010) - So it could be its just taken time to soak through.

Chap who came, was convinced it was only the tiles & wanted £200 notes to remove bath & re-tile about half way up, as he said thats where it is. To be fair the marks on the wall do stop about 5 feet up, but I'm not 100% convinced.

Think a PM might be going Martian's way in the hope some of his mates in the trade might be interested!

No its tiled, although i thought it was more solid than just a panel, I'm going to see if it can come out as "one"

I've managed to yank a corner bit off, looks like tiles stuck to a wooden frame. Where the floor tiles meet the panel ones, its all joined/grouted together, so guess have to take off tiles  :(  :-\

Yeah that's how mine is - a pain in the ass if you ever need to get under there. Fortunately for me, they thought to put a little inspection hatch in (now retained by a magnetic catch rather than the wadded up bog roll the previous owners had it wedged shut with ;D)..

See, this is why I have carpet on the floor and on the bath panel. 2 screws and the whole lot comes of easy. And more comfortable to walk on etc.

Reminded me of my mates place when he was single.  When in the shower you tried not to touch anything, especially the shower curtain as it was alive!  and was one of the cheapo ones that clung to you when wet........  :(

This is the problem is it not? These days we like to box everything in to look nice and tidy, I did this in our loo, fine and dandy, top shelf comes away in case I need to get into the cistern... :y

Now then, when the flush stops working and you need to gain proper access it meant pulling away all the boxing in, that I had not designed for easy removal.............still need to get it all sorted...... ::) ::) ::)
