: I think I have a leaking shower pan. After a shower, the bathroom floor is wet – not because of the seal around the shower door which has been replaced. The leak seems to be coming through the tile grout. If this is a leaking shower pan, what is involved with the repair? How is it done? Do I need a plumber and a tilesetter? How : much should I expect to pay for the repair? Lee, The first step would be take caulk all the corner seams in the shower. The next step would be to plug the drain, fill the pan with with a bucket, let stand and see if water seeps out.If the pan is leaking, a tile setter should be able to repair the problem. The cost will vary according to how much you will be replacing. A mud set pan should be replaced up to the 18 height. Many tile setters will not reuse the old shower doors.Caulk first.If replacement is nessary, then my preference is to remove the old shower, replace the valve with a new pressured balanced valve, new shower doors. wonderboard and tile.Regards, Terry Love
