The shower cubicle in the main bathroom at home needs repair.



It is lined with marble tiles. After a period of several years without

re-grouting the tile joints or re-sealing with silicone the juncture

with the shower bowl, water has leaked through the tiles and silicone

joints and damaged the walls behind and surrounding areas.



I am going to re-do the whole shower repairing the walls so that they

are sound and firm.



Other than a ready-made shower cubicle, is there a better solution than

just re-tiling?



Is there a way to avoid the same problem (leaks through the joints) by

laying a watertight film prior to the tiles or something of that sort?



The house has wooden beams and one has to allow for some movements,

seasonal and others.



Are marble tiles a good solution or should I go for different ones?



Thanks,

What about a shower tanking kit?
