anyway for some time the wall between the two ensuits has water damage - it looks as if there's a leak somewhere. we resealed both showers and thought the problem would go away however the other day i noticed that the flooring in the hall (at the end wall of the two ensuits) has water damage!
any suggestions as to what this can be please?

Is the water damage high up on the walls? I'd be inclined to say the leak is in the waste outlet somewhere...shower trays are heavy and can crack a plastic waste pipe during fitting. I'm not a plumber, but have seen a few water leaks in ceilings and such and waste pipes are usually the culprit when it's not a radiator or heating pipe.
