    At this time of year a tiled wall will dry out, IF you don!!!8217;t keep using the shower on it. Have you got a gym membership or a shower at work you can use for a few weeks whilst the wall dries out?
  • Why would you let a tiled wall dry out for a few weeks, to only use it again after? That doesn't seem like treating the problem.

    I have no window in the bathroom, but a high power extractor and windows and doors elsewhere are always open, the flat is well ventilated

    Clearly something has gone wrong on the shower wall area for a mushroom!! to start appearing. I'm very upset about the situation and the potential expense and hassle it may cause.

    I have a plumber looking into it next Thursday.

    I don't have heaters on much, perhaps I should do that as well as ventilation

    You do have to get to the source of the problem, yes, but the wall will need to be dried out anyway.
