It seems as though I've had a slow leak in my shower cubical, over a long period of time, more than likely from around the tray and sealent. The insurerance won't pay because it does't look like the water has escaped from a pipe - the only true way to tell is to rip all of the shower board off as the pipes are behind that.....
My question is, what is the best thing to do?
The floor has got wet, as has some of the plasterboard and the shower panels look quite mouldy, could these be cleaned with bleech or something to remove the mould and reused, or is it worth replacing them with new ones?
I'm thinking that I need to rip the shower panels off in the shower, check that it isn't the pipes that are leaking and then cut the plasterboard off where the water has soaked up to, replasterboard and put new shower panels on. I'll also need new flooring as the lino has gone very mouldy.
I've attached some pics, any advice is appreciated.
