Staining Behind New(ish) shower sealant

by AndySea » Tue Dec 10, 2024 9:55 pm

Hi - hope someone can offer some opinions.

This shower has only been in for 11 months and we are starting to see staining behind the sealant between tray to tiles. Hopefully the photos show enough close up detail.

Is this moisture getting in?

Should the tiles have been “sealed” prior to the sealant being laid to stop any moisture getting past?

Any suggestions for a solution? Would stripping it back to bare be one? If we do is there anything else we should be doing?
