A shower in the bathroom 6' square with no window but has a fan. Conversion in 2004.
The shower is in one corner the base has a lip all the way round.
Plywood on top of 3x2 studding was used as the backing for the shower walls which were then tiled.
I noticed fungi growing at one corner of the shower with the wall, when it grew again I took off the pipes covering to have a closer look.
After a shower water can be seen slowly dripping from the underside of the tray, then it goes down the plasterboard wall and to the floor.
Trying to diagnose the fault.
In the shower the grout tends to go grey then black
I have regrouted it once, I also tried silicon which did not last.
The grout I used was Microban for showers.
It could possibly be the water getting over the lip on the tray but the water dripping takes 2-3 minutes to establish after the shower starts.
My diagnosis is to replace the grout unless anyone has other ideas.
There are three pics here;
