    Hi all would I be mad to have a go myself, DIY I can do fairly ok, worked at electric for years, no plumbing experience as such.

    Our shower is absolutely peeing water down the walls and ceiling downstairs so it needs sorting asap....

    What I plan is to give it a go myself as it's a very small room it doesn't have to be the most perfect either but obviously want the shower and tray area water tight....

    House was built 98 so I'd say the plaster board will need doing too.

    Easy enough to do - I did the main bathroom some years ago without an ounce of knowledge beforehand but YouTube was handy

    Have you identified where the leak is firstly tho?

    Yes it's the wall tiles, water has been getting in behind and as I looked today they were or are starting to come out away from the wall, I believe the 2 Rawl plug holes for previous shower unit didn't help.

    I'd say I'm looking at complete new back boards too.
