Leak Coming from shower onto skirting board

[Ivan_d]

Hi, I thought I’d post this on the forum here as I appear to have some sort of leakage. This is being a period of over three years
Is this something that I need to get a plumber in or something that I could fix myself by using sealing. Before I get a plumber in it will be useful to know where you think leak will be coming from judging from watermarks on the skirting board thank you advance for any help you can provide

It's difficult to say but almost invariably this is when screen has been fitted before tray is sealed.
There is a gap behind shower screen profile that isn't sealed and any attempt to seal externally will just make a larger area for water to puddle and make it worse.
A shower screen shouldn't be sealed internally as water does get into the edges and is supposed to run out and back into tray.
If this is your issue then screen needs to come out, reseal tray and refit screen with seal on outside edges only.
I charge a days labour and materials so apx £325
You might save £100 or so if you can get a handyman to do it....
It's a chunk I know but I bet that that's your issue.

Based on the watermarks on the skirting board, it does indicate a leakage issue that needs attention.
