Hey, I’m I hoping someone can help me with a smell that ha prevented me from using my newly renovated (diy) bathroom. Last year I re tiled the shower (did not change or remove pan), new tile on floor (removed and put back same toilet), new counters, sinks, faucets (no plumbing changed). So everything was cosmetic, no alterations to any pipes etc. There is now a strange smell that seems to be worse on some days than others, but always there. I have checked out some posts here and see other people complain of sulphur and ammonia smells, this could be described as a mix of both.
The pipes sat dry for over a month while I renovated, I have run the water and ensured the traps are all flooded. The bathroom has been cleaned meticulously and all the material in there are brand new. I used a new thicker wax seal for toilet. I live in a townhouse and this is a third story ensuite, no other rooms in the house have this smell, and we are pet free. Can’t figure this one out, please help!
