I recently decided to replace our aging shower cubicle and quickly discovered that the old tiling has been leaking for some time resulting in ruined plasterboard etc. No sign of any tanking being done. I've ripped out the board and tray and am at the point of fitting new board, tiling, tray and cubicle.
I've been researching it and have decided to tank the area with a Bal or similar kit.
What I'm wondering about is the sealing of the cubicle. I've read varying advice including:
1. Tank and the whole area, tile it down to the floor and then fit the tray, sealing it to the tile with sealant or some type of strip.
2. Fit the shower tray first. Seal it to the bare board using something like a Sealux seal. Tape over this and then tank the area. Tile down to the tray and use sealant at this joint.
3. Various others
Which method should I use for a domestic shower?
Thanks
