Dripping Rain Shower. Any advice?

[Deano_87]

I have a ceiling fitted shower that keeps dripping and is driving me crazy.
Can anyone offer any guidance to what’s causing the problem and how it can be fixed.
Would the ceiling need to be damaged to get access to the pipe work?
Many thanks.

I have recently changed the shower head, so I don’t think there’s a problem with that. I also took the shower head off and the dripping continued from the pipe.

The problem isn't in the ceiling, it's the valve in the wall not sealing properly. Isolate the water and change the valve. Find a maker's mark and look up how to change the valve.

Could be the on/off valve letting by, or the thermostatic cartridge.
Dismantle, inspect and replace as necessary.

So it’s likely the valve behind the on/off control? Can the valve be replaced without damaging the tiles?

Often, yes. Youtube is your friend. Showerdoctor for spares imo.

Thanks everyone. Very helpful
