Now tackling the HUGE task of the Garden- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=14782 Re: Leak under shower - rotting architraves and other problems 8Apr 18, 2009 10:24 pm Thanks Macy and everyone else for your replies. God, I hate hate hate these kind of things. I have enough things to worry about in my life and now I have to deal with this crap I might call a friend plumber to come and have a look at it too and tell me what he thinks should be fixed. We are definitely going to build again in five years or so, and one thing I am having is a normal, standard shower with white base etc. I can't believe the building "quality" in this country. Coming from Belgium, where everything is of a much much higher standard in the building process. The way they build houses here drives me insane. Grrrrr.... thanks for letting me vent anyhow. Will keep this updated Els Els ~ A day without wine is like a day without sunshine ~ Re: Leak under shower - rotting architraves and other proble 10Mar 06, 2011 9:34 am Macy I don't know if we were given correct advice but when we made enquiries about getting the costs covered by the builder's warranty we were told that was only available if the builder died or went bankrupt, otherwise all we could do was keep getting the builder back to have another go. Yes, that is what we were told also - by the people that issued the warranty. Everyone else seems to say 'use your builders warranty' but the issuer of the warranty said above. Very weird - why bother having it then. We have similar/shower base issues. We have just sent off a formal complaint to the plumbing industry commission (because apparently it is the plumber that has to sign off on this, not the builder - although in this instance, we don't know who the plumber is and suspect it may not have even been carried out by a reg. plumber).... but anyway, will see what they say and hopefully they will follow it up on our behalf - and ultimately, hopefully order it to be fixed. Good luck with yours. HHCIB You will need to replace the entire stairs. Carpenter is the trade you're after. 1 4342 I already have the doors and architraves installed as pictured.
