Hi,
I had the bath panel off the bath, and I noticed that after having a shower, I was getting a damp patch appearing on the wall behind the bath (it's not tiled there because it's out of sight).
I removed the sealant and I could see that the grout behind was soaking and coming away, which led me to beleive that it hadn't been sealed properly. So I waited for it to dry out, and resealed it (bought decent sealant, filled the bath with water, left for 24 hours, etc).
Everything seemed fine. No more damp.
However, my wife had a shower tonight and it has come back. I can only think it is because she has the shower head lower down than I do, and so must be spraying a different bit.
Because it doesn't appear when I shower, I don't think it's internal parts leaking. All the grout looks sound with no holes and no cracks.
The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with the shower screen.
Can anyone suggest a way of me tracking this down? I am all out of ideas. I can't see anywhere else to seal! Or is a small damp patch that drys within the hour not worth worrying about?
