Question

Shower has drip coming from bottom of shower unit. What could this be

Chris · Accepted Answer

It’s hard to say without knowing the design. Is it an electric shower? If so the most common fault is a Pressure Relief failure. If you can find a tradesman and provide images it’s easier to advise.

Javad · Answer

I must see it
It can have many reasons, such as a hole in the tub, or a sewage problem, or distant mastics that destroyed the seal... You should negotiate with an expert who will fix your problem with a warranty.

Difficult to say without seeing the unit but it could just be something as simple as needs new seals.... How long has the unit been in place?

Jonathan · Answer

It could be the waste seal gone because siliconed on. Or the silicone on the edges could be leaking so would need resealing.

Will · Answer

If it’s electric - compression fitting needs tightening up - if it’s a solder fitting - replaced - if it’s a combi shower then new seals

Zach · Answer

Could be anything. A pipe that’s become loose or an O ring that’s become brittle.

This could be a couple of issues, silicon around either screen or tray, Loose grout on tiles or leaking trap
