Have you ever had a leaking shower?  

Hi, it's good that you have already discovered the problem and now repair it. Imagine how much water you are wasting if you hadn't discovered and the damage it would bring to your house.

We don't have a shower. But in the house of my girlfriend, there is a leak from the bathroom in the second floor which trips down to a room on the ground floor. Fortunately we have recognized it and had it repaired. Imagine that not only water will trip down to the room!

How awful, guybrush. That sounds like a dreadful problem and an expensive one at that. If your tiler said that it is a common problem, I must have been very lucky because I don't think I've ever had a leaky shower.

Touch wood, we have never had a leaking shower. Last year we did have a leaking toilet. Nothing nasty mind you, but the fresh water from the cistern kept overflowing on to the floor. My husband spent the day trying to sort it out and I spent the day mopping up the water. The next day he went out and bought a whole new cistern because it was easier than trying to fix something which probably had a worn out part.

Oh Poor you having to have all that to deal with. I haven't a shower where I am now only a bath but when I was with my husband we had a shower and one day he was in it and I went downstairs and there was water dripping through the ceiling froma leak from the shower. I made him get out as water and electric don't mix and get told off for not turning the electric off at the mains! I told him next time I would leave in him there to fy LOL. Ellie :D

Oh yes, it happened in the house we were renting before moving here. And it was so bad, as the shower was next to our bedroom and I had some books sitting on the floor near that wall and when I moved them they were damp and the carpet damp. This can happen very quickly as all the damage starts in the wall behind the shower wall and you don't know it until something like what I experienced happens.

Well ours does not leak too much but when it does I usually get my hubby to take a look at it. Thank god for him because I have no clue with pipes and stuff. He is pretty good with that sort of thing and usually gets the job done fast. I love that he is handy like that. I have had a few problems now and then with some tapes in the house but thanks to my trusty handy man at home I just call him over and he gets down to it. Even if it is leaking from under he some how pulls it apart and reseals everything good as new.

Yeah, mine did that a few years ago. I caught it early though and only had to replace the surround after I tore it out to fix the plumbing. Just the other day I had a pipe leaking that went into my water heater. Luckily again I caught it early and was able to fix it for $25. Ever since the first one leaked I find myself listening to the house as I walk through it at night when it is quiet. That is how I found the water heater leak.
