Hey All,
Been fighting this shower leak for what seems like ever. Worse part is that it doesn't seem to leak all the time. Have had several fresh pairs of eyes look at it but all seem clueless. Little back ground. It is a second floor fiber glass shower base with tiled walls and ceiling that leaks down through my kitchen ceiling. Done numorous recaulks including behind the faucet and shower head plates, Worse part is that through the hole in the ceiling, I just can't seem to get a good look at where the leak is actually coming from. Water takes the least path of resistance, I know. I can see the drain and thats not it. The bath room is tiled as is the stall so I'm really not anxious to start peeling tile. Might as well gut. Its a relatively old bath {maybe 20 plus} but no real noticable wear. Only leaks when I am on board. But couldn't make it leak when I had friends looking on. After one caulking, It didn't leak {or so I thought} for the longest time and I even closed up the hole and was ready to paint. My bad. Any way, quick showers, nothing noticable, longer ones show water. Could it be something faucet related when its turned on? Don't really know much about the different types of faucets but its a single handle. Would a repair kit be worth a try? Not even sure what brand it is. No names or numbers on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the novel. Trying to avoid numorous questions. Thanks
