My 1966 tub had a mysterious water leak into the floor below. Nothing while running water, but wet later. FInally watched as it leaked about 10 minutes AFTER running the shower.
Turns out the shower is aimed right above the soap dish / grab handle. The grout was cracked, and whenever the person was not "in" the stream, it cascaded down thru the cracks.
So the concrete board was soaked, and I pulled it right off the wall. The adhesive is yellow/brown, so I'm guessing they used construction adhesive. Should I re-attach with adhesive or tile grout? The paper is all scraped off of the concrete board. Needs to be stong enough so it won't be pulled off the wall when using the grab handle.
Should I seal the edges with grout, or use caulk?
