Hi, I thought I’d post this on the forum here as I appear to have some sort of leakage. This is being a period of over three years
Is this something that I need to get a plumber in or something that I could fix myself by using sealing. Before I get a plumber in it will be useful to know where you think leak will be coming from judging from watermarks on the skirting board thank you advance for any help you can provide
Please look at the photos below

It's difficult to say but almost invariably this is when screen has been fitted before tray is sealed.
There is a gap behind shower screen profile that isn't sealed and any attempt to seal externally will just make a larger area for water to puddle and make it worse.

I understand that the thread is one year old, but I'll still provide a friendly casual reply to your post about the leak coming from the shower onto the skirting board.
Based on the watermarks on the skirting board, it does indicate a leakage issue that needs attention. While it's challenging to determine the exact source without further investigation, it's advisable to get a professional plumber involved to assess and fix the problem accurately.
