The shower in the upstairs flat is leaking, where the base joins the wall. I need to stop it leaking short term, (eg a few months) long enough so I can get the bathroom in the downstairs flat plastered and installed. I can't plaster it while there's water running through the ceiling, and I can't just rip it out, as that would leave my tenants with no bathroom.
I put self-adheasive flashing tape all the way around the base, in vertically overlapping strips, but the damn thing still leaks, The flashing tape is ungluing itself. The stuff's meant to withstand outdoor weather on a roof, how come it can't cope with a shower? Grrr.
Anyway, what can I do to effect a leakproof seal around the shower base?
Thanks.
