Hi, situation: New build house, one year old, upstairs toilet fitted
incorrectly by builder, small drip drip leak, every time flushed.

Leaked through the floor to the ceiling, not enough to drop to floor, but a
watermark on ceiling. Also we have had a shower fitted, the splash back from
the shower makes the upstairs bathroom floor quite wet, which again, leaks
down very slowly (we wipe it up when it gets wet, but you know how things
are , and the water finds it way through the boards....)

The bathroom has vinyl down, and it seems when we lift the vinyl up, the
floor underneath is slimy and damp

The problem is, that the kitchen (the room below the bathroom) has a slight
musty smell, presumably coming from the small discoloured patch on the
ceiling.

so,
i) we want to cover over the patch, best way to do that?
ii) get rid of the musty smell
iii) prevent the smell from returning by doing something upstairs, (seal the
floor?)

any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated............

Surely either all those guarantees you get with new houses are really
worth absolutely nothing at all, or you just get the builder back in.
Innit?

Their Perssimon homes, complete utter idiots, they employ the absolute
cheapest contractors, who put connections in back to front etc etc....
We nicknamed them 'Pikey Homes'.
The initial fault was theres, but the shower issue is ours, and it has
caused more of a problem.
