Water outside a shower can come from a fixture, a connection or the wet-area construction. The location and timing of the moisture help decide which part should be investigated first.
Distinguishing a plumbing leak from other moisture
The assessment considers the taps or mixer, accessible pipework and the waste connection. Further testing depends on what the symptoms suggest. A waterproofing or building defect may require another specialist, so resealing or plumbing work should not be assumed to solve every shower leak.
Where this service can help
- Dripping shower taps and mixers
- Suspected supply or waste connection leaks
- Moisture appearing during or after shower use
Connections affected by earlier work
Mention any renovation or fixture replacement near the affected service. Earlier alterations can change pipe routes or access, so the visible fitting may not tell the whole story about the installation behind it.
Planning your service visit
Note whether dampness appears while the shower runs or remains after it has not been used. Tell us about previous tile repairs, resealing or changes to the shower fittings.
