My bathroom floor is very uneven can you help solve my problem?
Question:3 quarters of the floor is concrete and 1 quarter of the floor is wood the wood has all rotted and full of damp what advice do you have for me many thanks
Answers:
Do not use wood filler...It falls apart and will not hold up if it gets wet...
Bondo will fill the voids cheaply and it can be sanded level easily if sanded shortly after setting up. Just gouge the rotted wood areas so it will have something to hold to...
It sets up into super hard plastic...
Plus most wood fillers say to wait 24 hours for full cure.Bondo takes about 15 min max.
you need to get the damp sorted out(damp proofing(or it may be a leaking pipe/drain) and wood replaced. If the concreate is uneven you could put a thin layer over to make it even
Rip the wood out and concrete it all, when dry go over it with some self levelling floor compound (something like cempolay which has latex)
Sorry can't help with the wood thing but we had similar problem with kitchen concrete floor last year and were wanting to put down tiled floor.
We bought self levelling compound from local builder's merchants (Huws Gray) if your in the Manchester / North Wales area are very good.
It was relatively easy to put down just follow the instructions. It dried beautifully and took the new slate tiles no problem.
Good luck with the project.
Rip it up and buy some self leveling resin, this will get it sweet as a nut, i used it on my kitchen and i had a tile floor.
you can buy it from any hardware store.
