Hello -
I have recently taken on renovating my mother's house and roughly two years ago she had a supposed friend retile her bathroom. This guy is not a professional and really messed it up. So much so that the bathroom tiles are 'slipping' there are great gaps in between tiles, some have in fact completely fallen off, which has obviously led to the room becoming damp.
I'm wondering what the best option is for retiling the room, sorting the problem in the process?
I've read a lot about removing the existing tiles, treating the damp with a dehumidifier and then when ready to retile, use aquapanel underneath the tiles surrounding the shower area. Would this do the job? Would it be needed in the sink area?
Also, I keep seeing 'tanking' coming up as a better alternative to the aquapanel method. What is this and would it be a better option?
Any help and advise would be really appreciated!
