Worth mentioning as well, you may find some quite badly rusted screws when you take the rails off, it is well worth getting a supply of stainless steel replacement screws and replace them all.

yes for what they cost its well worth it anyway.

There is an interesting article in this month's (February) PC. Their Avondale Wren is having work carried out to remove damp at the front, and it's being done on someone's drive, using normal DIY tools. May give you an insight of what to expect with your washroom problem. Hope this helps!
