Shower Leak Repair in Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove
A shower leak at a home in Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove was allowing water to come through the ceiling below the bathroom. On 2 November 2026, Central Heating Hub investigated the source, repaired the leaking waste connection, tested the shower and patched the ceiling access opening.
Finding the source of the shower leak
We cut an access opening in the ceiling so we could see the pipework below the shower tray. With the connection exposed, we traced the leak to the seal between the shower trap and the 40mm waste pipe.
In this case, the fault was at the waste connection beneath the tray. Our repair focused on the joint we could see leaking.
Repairing and testing the waste connection
We dismantled the connection, reseated the washer and rubber seal, then reassembled and tightened the joint. We ran the shower afterwards and checked the exposed connection. No further leakage was visible during the test.
Patching the ceiling access opening
Once the shower test confirmed that the connection was sealed, we cut replacement plasterboard and fitted 2 × 1-inch timber supports. We secured the plasterboard patch and applied filler over the repaired area.
What this local repair involved
The job brought together leak investigation, shower waste repair, a running-water check and making good the ceiling access opening. It is a practical example of the smaller bathroom and plumbing repairs our team can discuss with you.
