If the photos in the previous post are representative I think the search needs widening as what you've shown under the shower doesn't look wet.I’ve just run the shower full pelt all over the tray and nothing is coming through.
I suspect here is your issue is the directly above the hole in the cieling below ??@ShaunCorbs yes they redid all the silicone around the tray (pictures above)
@king of pipes put a few pics up to help illustrate
What you've learned is that if you pour water through the floorboards some will soak into the plasterboard and the rest will move to the lowest point, i.e. the hole in the kitchen ceiling.I poured some water into the gap and sure enough it pours through the hole in my kitchen ceiling. Result! But I am really confused.
Oh dear, maybe I should contact the plumbers and tell them what I’ve done and leave well alone for a few weeks or even a month or so or does it not work like that? I think I’ve probably done everything I can do now with everyone’s help?What you've learned is that if you pour water through the floorboards some will soak into the plasterboard and the rest will move to the lowest point, i.e. the hole in the kitchen ceiling.
Unfortunately, you've now made diagnosing the problem much harder because its not going to be easy to distinguish between the effects of the water from the real leak and the water you've poured into the ceiling.

Lol no! I will try my friends plumber and see what they sayNot helpful, is it, really?
So I thought I’d give an update.Lol no! I will try my friends plumber and see what they say
A question to all the plumbers out there, I don’t want to chase because surely it makes me look desperate and it’s bad if a trades person can’t keep their word when they arrange to do some work. What’s your view on this?
Thing is Shaun, it’s been a nightmare to get the guy back. When he first came over, he was all up for sorting it out. He said he would definitely be over this week and he hasn’t (again). I need someone who is prepared to get this sorted for me even if it’s going to be a right pain in the bum. That is a good tip though and I will mention it to the next person who comes to look at the showerHave you said you want to remove the tray you know it might break and your happy to accept the liability if it does ?
Thanks Scott, I had no idea to be honest and this puts another spin on thingsTo take the tray out would mean removing the enclosure anyway, probably taking some tiles with it?
It won’t just pull out then push back in.
