Upstairs shower when turned on is causing water to drip through my living room roof
As I spotted this today my first thought was that the roof was leaking with all the rain so actually relieved when figured out it was from the shower
Poured water directly down the drain and no drips,but if shower turned on after a few minutes water dripping downstairs
I'm guessing its the area between the shower tray and tiles
Main thing I want to know
1)Shower installed a year ok, is this an indication of shoddy work by plumber who also did the tiling. I did read somewhere that slight subsidence causes this to happen frequently
2)Any recommendations for best sealant product
I'm pretty sure that its the space between the shower tray and the last tile which is not selaed. The grouting on the high tiles is white wheras near the shower tray the tile and grouting habe gone discoloured
What I really want to know is should i expect the plumber/tiler to fix this free of charge,is it his fault
If the shower tray is sitting on a timber floor with timber joists, the timber breathes & expands & contracts with the weather. It is impossible to seal a shower properly with that movement going on. There is a tanking system you can buy that goes on before the tiling which allows for that movement. A pin hole in the grout is enough to do the damage
