  • Is there a clever way of tracing a tiny leak backwards? Our built-in shower (no idea of construction underneath the tiles) is leaking through to the ceiling below. Only a few drops at the moment but it’s getting worse...

  • Sorry but IME the only way to fix something like that is to tear everything out, let it dry and then build a new bathroom. Water ingress into the surrounding structures leading to subsequent mold etc. Is it a wooden floor/ceiling where this is happening? I mean joists and things. If it's concrete you might be in better luck.

  • Yeah it’s wooden unfortunately. I’ve found a couple of guides for locating the leak (probably cracked grout apparently) so I’ll try that first - we’re talking a few drops over the course of a 15 minute shower and I can rip the thing out but we can’t afford to replace it at the moment!
