Shower windows

[Denray]

Whoa, there's a crack from the floor all the way up the left side of this window. Double whoa, there's another crack up the right side too.

I explained to the client this could be expensive. He thought not that big of a deal. [:-bigeyes

Shower windows are only for the viewing pleasure (or pain) of the public voyeur. Only way to fix the cracks would be clear silicone, verdad?

[Tom Raymond]

The tile broke because the substrate moved, most likely because the framing is mush from water infiltration at the glass block window. I'd wager the ledge details at the tub are wrong too. The fix is to tear it all out and start over.

[Denray]

That's what I was thinking Tom. And matching the tile won't happen. The shower is open at one end into a drying off area with the same tile. There were cracks in the grout there that spray could get to. Perhaps there is no pan beneath that area. 2000 built house with a hip height glass block window in the shower spray area.

Its a bit of a hassle having minor problems like this because if its not fixed when its still small it will eventually be a big problem...

[John Kogel]

In my mind, it is already a big problem. The cracks are just evidence of the hidden mess.
