Shower enclosure problems

[Mike]

do you have any spare tiles to replace? i'd be getting the tiler back to do it and foot the bill but i wonder if he'd do a proper job second time round

Lack of good prep work (waterproofing)as stated by Mike and were the tiles meet the floor tiles outside the shower it should be Silicon the same color as the grout for movement

Thanks for the answers fellas.

I know the only way to be sure is to strip out like mike said. Im very concerned about the effects this will have on the other tiles/grout etc surely all that upheaval of taking 4 large tiles down will damage the grout surrounding. Also what about the damage to the shower cubicle it took some pulling to get it off last time thats gotta weaken the frame and seals on the glass.

Was the tray fitted on top of the floor tiles and could it be the tray waste which is leaking through.
Did the plumber fir the tiles - his fixing method is incorrect - dot and dab.
The wall and floor tiles should be joint bonded assuming they are the same tiles.

the shower enclosure should come out reasonably easy provided you've cut through the silicon seal in the bottom. you need to cut through the grout lines of the affected tiles before trying to remove, a fein/bosch multitool is the best tool for this job but you can do it with a stanley knife but be careful with it.

you could try blocking the waste and showering the problem corner again, that would show whether the leak is from the tray or the waste

From the pictures you've posted, I would say it's definetly leaking from the bottom of the verticle post and needs stripped out and refitted again. To check the drain, you could just run the shower hose directly into the drain.....

Were the vertical bar meets the base channel looks like a pool of water running back to the corner

I've looked at the photo's a few times over and i have to ask the question. The tiles are cut down to the tray aren't they? Or were the walls done first and the tray pushed into the corner? The photo to, unless it's my eyes playing me up looks like it's the later.

the tray was fitted first but the op has said the tiles were cut tight to the tray so no gap for silicon to get in
