STEP BY STEP LEAKING SHOWER REPAIR PROCEDURE
Removal of tiles and brickwork forming the hob surrounding the shower area
Drawn by David Viles (not to scale - guide only)
Remove the old waterproofing and brick hob.

An electric jack hammer is recommended to knock the hob edge
inwards toward the shower area.

This reduces the risk of damaging the outer floor tile area.

Before dismantling the hob edge of the shower, mark the existing
height of the old tile hob - this assists the installation of the new hob
to a similar finished height.

If the sheet floor substrate is decayed, it may have to be replaced.
