I've recently renovated my house but have been noticing slight leaks from my shower.
Let me paint the picture.
Shower tray, secured and fitted before tiles were put on the walls.
Whole area was grouted. Tiler also rang a small seal of clear silicon around where the tiles / grout met the shower tray and also on the upright joints in the corner. All in all it looked like had done a very tidy job. We laid the floor but as yet have not put the trim on the edges of the floor up to shower enclosure (when I say enclosure, 3 walls and then the front has large shower screen).

We noticed that the wood fibre board that the bathroom laminate sits on is getting slightly damp at two points, namely at the either end of the shower so suspect there is 2 minor leaks.
After speaking to some people they've recommended that I dig out all the grout that sits between the bottom tile and shower tray and re-seal. After doing some reading I'm not convinced that simply slapping some silicon sealant in there is going to be any better than what was there previously. What alternatives do I have without removing tiles / the shower tray?
Any help appreciated.
