: 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? The first reply was partially correct in that you should plug drain and fill pan 1/2 inch above the drain.If water is still outside of shower you may have a leak in your pan.If not you may have valve leakage.If the pan is leaking you will have to replace it.As a professional tilesetter I do not reccomend patching the shower only up to the pan as it will be impossible to waterproof it once you cut the moisture barrier between tile and sheetrock.I reccomend replacing shower.As far as the shower doors go no reason why they cant be used again goodluck bye jonytiler
