    i have an electric shower upstairs on the first floor.I turned it on yesterday and water appeared to be leaking to the ground floor,so it must be an issue with the pipes..is this a big job to fix?

    Turn on the shower & br the shower head down close to the tray. Run it for a few minutes only in the tray and keep the wall totally dry. If it leaks then it's the trap. If it doesn't leak aim the water on the tiles. If it leaks now then it's most likely a tiling job
