Default Leaking shower

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

Drew


If it's dripping into the room below, then check your waste outlet pipework.
The joints on the plastic pipes that take the water away down the plughole
are leaking.
