I'll start this by saying I'm hoping to sort this by diy / minimal professional help as I'm a very tight budget!
I've got a walk-in shower in a wet room. The shower has a tiled-over former with an additional ring of tiles around it. When the shower's in use, a drip comes through into the room below. The shower surround is 2 simple glass panels forming a L shape - these will easily come down & can be reused.
The leak doesn't appear to be from the taps/mixer (in the wall). So it's either the waste, seeping through the ring of tiles or I suspect the shower wall/floor join wasn't properly lined as a good dose of sealant slows the issue a little.
The guy who installed it wasn't a star performer - the rest of the room is tiled in thin ply - from the get-go I've had issues with grout coming up. I'm not going to get any help from him as it's been down 6 years.
My question: by coincidence I've spotted online a low-rise shower tray that's roughly the same dimensions as the shower area. It's got a flat rim just the right that I could put the glass panels on. If I put the shower tray on top of the current tiles - and managed to get the waste moved into the new position - how could I seal where the tray will butt-up to the shower wall?
There's obviously quite a few issues to sort here beyond the one I've flagged but the rest of the bathroom is as good as new - and I'm on a budget!
