Hi,
Last year I had a multi piece Walk-in Sterling shower and shower doors installed. Now i find these problems:
- mold in the seems where the shower walls are attached to the base; especially at the places where there's a small drain hole between base and wall;
- molded, soft and wet drywell on the lower outside corners (left and right) where the drywall and trim meet the shower unit.
Im quite desperate since its all new and costed me quite some money... I'm almost tempted to blame Sterling, but poor construction seems te be the problem.
Any input on this problem and how to fix it? I think i should cut away the drywall and fix that, but thats not curing the problem. I also think of caulking the seem between base and tub wall, preventing water build up - but it should be a witer tight connection... Some do's and dont's?
Thanks!
Bart
