Repairs and problems
Leaking shower tray: where the water is really coming from
Water appearing below a shower is usually escaping at a junction, not through the tray itself. Four suspects cover most cases.
How this is diagnosed
The tray-to-wall seal, the waste connection, the upstand detail behind the tile and the door seal each leak in a recognisable pattern.
A leak only when someone showers points to the seal or door; a leak whenever water runs points to the waste.
Worth checking on site
The tray-to-wall seal, the waste connection, the upstand detail behind the tile and the door seal each leak in a recognisable pattern.
Common questions
Can it be fixed without removing the tray?
Often yes, if the failure is a seal or waste. Failed tanking behind tile usually means opening up.
Why now, after years?
Seals move and age, and a small movement in a tray on a flexible floor eventually opens the joint.
