It's water seeping from under the bathtub, IMO. Probably *a small and
not constant leak, which suggest the water is coming from a drain or a
shower pipe.

Well, people it turns out to be water damage. *Although not extensive

Thanks for all your help.

Just curious: *What do you mean by "water damage".

The deposits, in and of itself, isn't really "damage", just the
minerals left over from the water.

When I think of water damage, I think of mushy drywall, rotted joists,
popping tiles, etc.

What exactly was the problem and was there any *real* damage?

Now, this would be water damage:

I guess it would be minor water damage. *I was not there when the guy
came. *But according *to wifey he said we have some leakage from the

And it's $1000 to do what? Just caulk? I'd say you're getting
hosed.

As someone else pointed out, from what's in the pictures, you have
some crud from water accumulating, probably from the shower water
getting where it's not supposed to be. If you have actual damage to
be repaired, which would involve substantially more than removing
what's there and caulking, then $1000 sounds OK If it's just removing
crud and re-caulking, then I'd say you're getting hosed.
