Small leak through ceiling after shower

Hello Friends

Been to a job today again where after using the shower cubicle there is a leak through to downstairs ceiling.

Speaking with he customer the shower is 6 years old. Looking at the shower all the sealant seems good although mouldy, tile grout is good.

The shower tray is on the floor and so there is no way to look under it to see if the drain is leaking.

I think that if the supply pipes were leaking it would drip more so am thinking its the drain /trap. Any thoughts?

Also, how would you get to it? The floor is tiled as are the walls, the shower cubicle is pretty shabby, rusted runners and pretty dirty also!

Any thoughts or comments?

Cheers all.

Have a good afternoon.

When I've been out to a couple of jobs like this, I've found that the customer has recently tried to clean trap out and actually managed to disrupt whole fitting thus causing a leak.
