I had New bathroom fitted few months back the shower is fitted above the fuse box which is in the hall .I have noticed when I have a shower there's a damp patch around the fuse box.I have had a plumber round who has told me he would have to get to the back of the shower and pull all my beautiful new tiles off .and maybe have to

get under the bath and pull tiles off the side panel.And a electrician who has sad he will take my new shower off and put new one on and put a new fuse board on that he has told me it's going to be compulsory he may have to take tiles of to see if it's leaking this is going to cost around £1000 the plumber that did the bathroom
said he is to busy to come back and is now avoiding me .the house is 25 years old .I dont know what yo do will it couse a fire .any idea would be helpfull.

It might be easier to access all of that from the hall if that wall is
easier than tile to fix. In the US that would just be drywall and no
big deal to replace. If you open up the wall you should be able to
find the leak and also assess any mold problems you may have created.
