Air bubbles in shower cubical

[Pagett1980]

Hi first post so hope it’s in the right place.. I have bought a Avondale dart 2008. This weekend I noticed two air bubbles in the vinyl on the shower cubical wall. Both seem dry and look as though it’s a delamintion issue? But I’m no expert. Looking at other post people have described issues with pin head type bubbles that are hard.. These seem to be 10cm x10cm and can be pushed back down against the wall.. has anyone else had this issue? Or can someone recommend me the correct next step to fix the problem.

Thanks Gareth

For small 'bubbles', say 1cm x1cm, I would use a syringe to inject wallpaper paste, and then massage it down expelling the excess. As it drys (over quite a few days) it will usually tighten up and be invisible. For a bubble as large as 10 x10 I think I would make a neat vertical slit with a stanley knife and follow the same procedure. (It is possible that you may end up with an overlap which can be trimmed out after many weeks drying.

Thanks for the reply that was my first thought it’s a small area and hopefully just down to us using the shower... maybe time to start using the facilities on site.... I will take this onboard and try a DIY this weekend.. thanks for the response.

Gareth,
Before you do anything take damp meter readings at various points on, near and over the entire affected wall. Do your remedials and test weekly.
I had some problems a few years ago caused by a leaking tap. Even though I removed the wall fabric and part of the floor covering it took a few weeks to dry out. Be sure you establish the reason for any damp.

I will purchase a damp meter fingers crossed it’s just due to the shower use. Thanks for the reply.
