(still a mystery but appears related to shower in some way, the pipes for which are also helpfully inaccessible behind the tiles),

(Home insurance job ?...Sympathies !)

Feared a similar problem in the MIL's over the weekend, Westie.....A small amount of water appeared on the stone flagging in her hallway. X_X

99% sure it's simply going to be a case of re-grouting around some of the tiles in the shower.
No shower yesterday, & the floor dried out.

Have to check again this morning after she's had her shower, and see if the water reappears.

Cheers - Phil

First off, are you sure it was water?

Spent part of the weekend wondering when I'll be allowed to get back to my hobby to paint the two ACW supply wagons and Dahlgren gun and naval crew that I forgot I had until recently, and the SYW howitzers, crews and limbers I bought at Vapnartak ....   :-<

Isn't it marvellous when they need you? I got called at midnight on Saturday to go and pick up my particular blossom from Manchester. She'd missed her last train home after an eventful (I don't ask too much) day at Pride.

Finished off my baggage camels and armoured cars. Waiting for some bases from MiniBits to base them. *warning* Read no further if you're a basing fanatic. I'm putting together a 1920's "somewhere in the desert" set - French Foreign Legion in anachronistic blue coats, with a/c support, doughty Brits from a county Regiment with an assortment of coloured knees (also with a/c support), and cunning warriors of the desert - swift and deadly, with a few surprises up their sleeves. Anyway, each force is aboiut platoon strength skirmish which usually divides into 3 section+ hq. So, I decided for simplicity to put each section on a different shaped stand  circular, square and hexagonal, with HQ & support on round bases. Did not have enough individual bases, so have sent an emergency order through, which with my Pendraken Plus should get to me ... well may even be waiting for me when I get home today.  :D

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Strangely enough, I didn't try tasting it, Westie  ;D ;D

FSN what is the difference between circular and round bases :-\

This could lead to confusion between first section and HQ & support...
