The shower is leaking

We were parked in the car park at Hayling Island after spending the day out on the paddleboards.  Before we headed off I decided to have a shower, I had fallen in the water!  When I had finished Donald noticed a big puddle of water by the hab door.  A few days later at home I set off to investigate where the water was coming from.  Where the shower tray attached to the wall had quite a large crack in the silicone.  This meant that I had to re-seal it.  

I used a silicone remover gel to dissolve the original seal, which took a couple of hours, then re-siliconed the tray.  I tested it by running the shower down the walls, but was very dismayed that it was still leaking.

Our toilet is in the same room as the shower and I noticed that this didn’t have a seal round the bottom.  This seemed to be where the water was escaping from.  I researched if anyone had sealed this off but couldn’t find anyone who had.  So I thought I would go ahead and do it anyway.  This did the trick and we have no more leaks.
