Picked that one recently, below € 20,-, serves well, stores snapshot right on the phone...

The shower is at the far end of the bath with a folding screen. It's bone dry on all the fittings and on the underside of the pipes. I've put foil trays just about everywhere, all dry since the bath was finally sealed correctly. I visited a friend last night, his daughter's boyfriend has an Endoscope. It looks like a free borrow might be a prospect. Luckily it's a few drips every few days so not a flood risk!

So annoying Ted! Access to sort the drip once you find the source can be challenging, don’t need to tell you that of course. Hope you get it sorted.

Once called by a friend as I have heat /soldering kit, leak in ceiling of entrance hall,, bathroom above, there was a nail through floor board and into top side of copper pipe !
This from original construction some 11 yrs prior to leak. Never disturbed, sealed fine until that point with a bit of flex from treading on bathroom floor got it fretting a bit.
Soldered in situ, only a small job to fix it, fortunately not a tiled floor.

Challenging indeed, I've managed to find a photograph of the suspect pipe(s) taken when our house was pretty much stripped out after the fire in Nov 2017. The photo taken on March 2018 shows the suspect pair of pipes in the center of photo. You can see the green oxidation in the photos, it's the other end of this pair of pipes (out of shot) I think that might be the problem area. I have hundreds of photos to trawl through so if I find the other end of the pipe I will post it. During the strip down and re-build I took photos almost every day to chart the progress after the fire. Some photos I had to delete as Wendy found them too ditressing to view. I have a back up hard drive that I am accessing to find this one.
