Default Leaking shower

What I did when I had this problem:

Got some granite effect vinyl flooring, and glued it on over the tiles - one
piece for each wall of the cubicle. Seal up each corner, and around the
shower tray and jobs a goodun. Glued it on with standard vinyl flooring
adheseive. It looked good, relatively few points to seal, and is even warm
to the touch.

I never trust grout anymore.

I've got a leaking shower cubicle. After running the shower for about 30
seconds, a steady stream of water starts dripping from somewhere near
the back wall.

The shower fitting itself is on a side wall, so I don't think this is a
problem with the pipes. I've resealed around the shower basin with
silicon sealant, but the drip keeps coming.

I reckon it's getting in through the grout somewhere. Plausible?

I'm a complete novice when it comes to things like this - is the best
plan to re-grout the tiles on that wall? If so, is that an easy job, and
can anyone recommend a good source of instructions?

Thanks
