Finding leak in shower
Discussion
We've had a leaking shower for a number of weeks now.
Originally we thought it was the sealant around the tray. However, we have renewed this and am confident that there is no issue there, but the leak still persisted.
We then cut a hole in the plasterboard ceiling below. We can see the water dripping down the outside of the wall panels, but can't work out where it is coming from.
Next, we thought it was getting down the sides of the shower controls,, but these have now been completely sealed and the problem has not gone away.
The plumber wanted to cut an additional hole in the back of the stud wall that contained the shower itself, but the wife wouldn't let him
She wants to rip the whole thing out and replace with new at a total cost of about £3.5k!
Any other ideas as a last resport to try and find the source?
