Hi, sorry to jump right in without looking around first, just wanted to ask some advice
I live in a unit/apartment/condo so alot of my fittings are shared or external from inside. Not the issue just setting the scene...
Anyway, i have a leaking shower so went about changing the washers and when i removed the tap to the part where you should see some part in the wall cavity i found that the hole has been sealed.
The wall itself borders my shower wall and the outside shared hall and from what i can see has been painted over the same area where my shower should be prompting me to think there has been some work from the previous owners.
I know basics but far from an expert so googled imaged what i'm talking about.
Any advice on what i should do?
I can probably cut the sealant away in a messy job, change washer etc then replace but why the sealant is there is got me worried
edit - sorry if wrong section, please move if needed
