Rotten Wall Behind Bathroom Tile

0 i finally got around to replacing the caulk in my shower stall only to discover that the wall board behind the lowest tier of ceramic tile is crumbling presumably from.

Rotten wall behind bathroom tile.

My problem is that i have a window in my bathroom where my tub is. In most instances this can be traced to loose missing grout between tiles or caulk that is missing. This showers tiles were falling off the wall and missing grout had lead to water penetration getting in behind the tiles and making them loose as well as causing the wall to rot. Next install cement board then dampen the cement board with a sponge to prevent it form.

Since the mold and mildew are actually growing from the inside out repeated scrubbings won t help this problem. The bathroom s wall tile design from the shower repeats behind the sink and the matte black faucet is the same finish as the shower fixture. We have a upstairs shower two of the stud walls were made from ply wood the grout has cracked water has penetrated and the wall behind and support have rotted. The wall is tile but i would like to replace it with another surface.

If the studs are fine you can proceed to re tiling the bathroom wall. All the loose tiles and rotten blown wall material was removed to start again from a solid base. I just discovered that the wall where the window is in the tub area is totally rotten. Stud walls need replacing with wetboard aqua board shower tray may need removing but a cupboard would need to.

The tiles need to come off all three walls and sink splash back. Most of the bathroom s surfaces are crisp black and white but touches of wood such as on this shelf and the floating vanity offer warmth. First install a vapor barrier.
