Good day everyone,
I was hoping you can advise me on this repair job I am thinking to take on.
My landlord ignores my requests to fix this problem for more than a year now and I decided to try and do it myself.
There is a plank of wood installed underneath the bath (OSB or plywood), dimensions 168 cm x 5.6 cm:
It started to root, unfortunately:
Could you please advise me what would be the right approach to fix this?
I was thinking:
1) Remove the plank
2) Clean the surface throughout. Maybe some anti-mould spray or/and white alcohol.
3) Install a plastic PVC plank replacement (not sure how I will get the exact dimensions, though... Probably need to buy a piece and cut it accordingly?)
4) Isolate the edges with some water-resistant filler
Any comments? Sounds ok or won't work?
Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you very much.
