Waterproof existing tiled shower cubicle

davebu

Hello,

Does anyone know of any substance that could be used to coat/waterproof an existing tiled shower cubicle? For example, some kind of 'rubber paint' or 'liquid rubber', possibly something intending for roofs?

Appearance is NOT the main concern. I'm just fed up of having to get it fixed over and over, and am looking for some alternative to ripping it all out and starting again!

I have asked this same question over at diynot btw, but I thought I might get some more creative answers over here to compare with the professional answers from over there:D

Many thanks in advance for any ideas...

If it was me I would be tempted to put shower boards or similar over the tiles.

Something like these https://www.ipsluk.co.uk/bathroom-wall-panels/wall-cladding.html?gclid=CKj7oZP_6c8CFUGVGwodeVME7g for example

There is no quick fix. If you overboard all you will do is trap water behind the screen profiles.

You will need to remove the enclosure in full

Ensure a solid base with zero movement, tank walls and use a experienced tiler / bathroom installed

The answer is to take it out and fit it properly.
