We also performed a dye test on the shower and when the tracer dye was sprayed over the area of the taps the dye appeared to drip below the shower, indicating the leave was tied to the shower.


Conclusion:
This leak is not part of the pervious findings at the property, it’s an issue on its own.
There is a leak behind the shower which leaks onto the floor, which is directly above the kitchen, causing the affected area in the corner of the kitchen.
The access we made next to the shower was minimal, the shower tray panel can be removed, and you can see from the side. When the shower is in use water leaks below the shower.
There is only one shower at the property, and it is used daily.
The contractor which fitted the shower backing will need to return and seal around the tap fittings correctly to fit the leak.
Once the leak has been repaired the affected area in the kitchen can dry and the area can be redecorated.
