sora 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 My attached bathroom to my condo has water seeping up through the floor tiles and walls whenever anyone bathes. It's wet and nasty.Got my contractor in and he took one look and said, "your copper piping has burst".He reccommends redoing everything as he will have to hack the bathtub and the floor/wall tiles to get to the copper pipes to replace. My husband and I also sick of bathtub so we are just going to put in a shower area.I am due to get his quote this week, anyone redo entire bathroom before?How much is the cost?It is not very big, about 2.5m by 2.5m.This is what I have to do:1) Hack tiles, counter, bathtub2) Replace copper piping3) Replace all the tiles4) Replace plaster ceiling5) Replace cultured marble vanity top6) Replace mirror7) Replace toilet bowl8) Install Shower screenAny idea how much this would cost so I can compare roughly to the quote my contractor will give? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks!The leakage is due to a few possible factors:1) the drainage of the tub has leak;2) the overflow valve of the tub has leak;3) water seeps into the joints where tiles and tub meetvery unlikely that the pipe has burst, conceal piping is braze and embedded into the cement, the water pressure will not be that strong to burst the pipe.reinstate a condo bathroom will cost u abt $5k or more. hacking and haulage fees already cost u a fraction.
