Bathroom Leaking Problem

Page 1 of 1
Hello,

Just found out that there are water slowly leaching out of the grout between the tiles outside of the shower (just next to the shower)
The bathroom is upstairs, there is no sign of leaking/water damamge downstairs as yet.

What could it be the problem? and who should I call to inspect?
would a plumber do? but if it involves tile job shall I also call a tiler?

Just want to get it fixed...
Thanks heaps
any suggestions? much appriciated!
help please...
Maybe you could try bathroom repairs and renovations in the Yellow Pages or go to a tile or hardware store and ask if they can recommend somebody who specialises in bathroom repairs. If there's water where it ought not to be its good to get it seen to before other signs show up. Good luck with it all. Turns out its more common than you'd think.
A picture would help. You dont say how high up the wall it is, where it is in relation to your shower taps ie: not enough info.

It could be something as simple as your grout allowing water ingress, or your tap flanges in the shower are not sealed to the tiles, or a gap between your shower screen and the tiles, or worst scenario it could be a water pipe leak within the wall.

A good plumber would pin-point the problem
Hi,

Is the water coming out of the wall tiles or the floor tiles? Is the floor a concrete floor or a timber floor and how old is the bathroom?

Regards,
Simon
as some said above i would call a plumber to locate the problem. then get the trades in need to fix the wall/tiles after the plumber has fixed the problem.
I have exactly the same problem, turn out to be shower head tap is loose, when i shower, they get shower too inside the wall.
