Denray Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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.

Jim Baird Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 In my mind, it is already a big problem. The cracks are just evidence of the hidden mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
