Treating damp under shower tray

    Hi,

    A house I rent out has a problem with dampness under the shower tray. Water has been leaking underneath the shower tray for some time and the last tenants never noticed it. The new tenants have and say when they have a shower it makes "squishy" noise i.e. there is water under the tray. I want to obviously seal the shower tray but would like to treat the existing damp underneath......I want to lift up the shower tray and put something down or perhaps lime or something like that before I seal it up again....

    Any ideas? How can I treat this before I re-seal the shower?

    thanks a lot.

    Will the shower tray be easy to take up? you might have to leave it dry when its up, maybe put a heater or dehumidifier in for a few days then give it a coat of polybond. that should sort it. Dont spare the silicone sealing up the trap this time round!!
