Hi,
A wet patch appeared on the newly plastered kitchen ceiling (see pictures). The plasterboard brittle matches the first floor shower drain location.
The Kudos walk-in shower sits on the first floor bathroom.
I removed the shower cover to expose the shower trap (which looks like a MCAlpine make - but not sure of it) and noticed scale built on the trap itself as water has been dripping for a while.
I briefly run the shower to see whether water would drip but no success.
The drain blocked up on a regular basis and I use powerful drain product to remove blockages.
Recently a plumber show me how to clear the drain and since then I did't use the drain liquid any more.
Please could anyone advise how to fix the leak?
Many thanks
