What is the make and model?
Is it power shower, electric shower, dial o the wall?
Have you hot water? Have you cold water?

sorry its the drainage, there is an unpleasant smell coming from it, I think the waterlock that prevents that from happening is broken.

Sorry for not being clear the first time.

If you haven't used it in a while, then just throw a little water down. Lack of use means the water in the U evaporates, letting the smell up from below.

If your u-bend in your drain is leaking, its going to have to be replaced.
