    Hi, Just wondering if anyone can advise, I have a leak in a shower, on the outside corner where the door connects to the wall and the base of the shower, I have had the same plummer look at it 3 times now, the first two times he added more sealant, the first time it seemed to have fixed it but the tenants living there at the time they never told me that the leak was back, so I didn't find out until 6 months later, the second time was back in July, he has checked the pipes under the shower and says its definatly not from them, when the leak came back a week ago he said that as the doors hadn't been properly fitted in the first place that they would have to be replaced, (doors are 3 years old) he said that the tray shouldn't have to be replaced, last Friday the doors were replaced, and sealed and the shower wasn't used for 24 hours but the leak was back (and worse) on Sat, I called him this morning and he said that this could be normal as the doors have to be resealed, I don't know if this is right and if I should just cut my losses and get a new plummer, but he did come as a good recommedation from a friend whose shower he also fixed, any advice welcome,

    It hard to know what the fault is without seeing it.A close up picture of the inside corners of the shower door and a the seal on the shower tray

    if he didnt get it right the the other 3 times i wouldnt be calling him back.
    get somebody else in..check the waste connections..check that there is sealent behind the door,the silicone should be put on first and the door afterwards.not the other way around.

    Thanks for both replys, I didn't take any picture so couldn't attach any, but it's a good thing to remember for the next time, he came back and fixed it again on Tuesday, all seems fine at the moment, however if it happens again, I'll just find a new plummer. Thanks again.
