It is important to think with your head. Houses can be costly if there is a problem that is yet to be fixed. I think the vendor or builder should pay for the inspections that have helped identify a cause/location they were not aware of or you should ask them to get thermal imaging or other plumbing tests as mentioned by other posters above to prove that it is now all OK. A piece of paper saying it’s fixed..... hmmmm Not sure what value it has except for them so they can sell you the property. I hope you got the extension.

It may be a failure to the water proof membrane within the shower enclosure. When flood testing he just has to make sure the water is from a tap outside of the wet area (shower). Good luck and I hope you find it’s an easy fix as I understand the emotional investment with property Thanks CBAS, will definitely request this if we end up buying the house and the vendor agrees to fix it...well he's gong to have to fix it regardless if he wants to sell to me or anyone else. This certainly doesn't look good. I would be engaging with an independent inspector to have a look at this.
