If you are doing a new ceiling anyway, wait until you have the old ceiling ripped out and then run the shower to see where it’s leaking from.

Haha, now where’s that Kenneth Williams gif?Maybe a crack that opens up when you are using the shower, can be difficult to spot

those 250mm panels are crap in showers, we had instaled them in an upstairs shower and had to go back time after time because of leaks, water gets in the joints and runs down the back then through the ceiling below, two things you can do- run a upvc bead on the joints and silicon on 'looks crap' or fit the boarding that comes in a 8x4 piece so you wont have joints this will fix onto your existing finnish using pink grip

Just had my shower done with panels. They were thick and heavy and had a very intricate tongue/groove locking system that we tried to get water through using a small sample piece. Dry as a bone on back after blasting with hosepipe for ten minutes.those 250mm panels are crap in showers, we had instaled them in an upstairs shower and had to go back time after time because of leaks, water gets in the joints and runs down the back then through the ceiling below, two things you can do- run a upvc bead on the joints and silicon on 'looks crap' or fit the boarding that comes in a 8x4 piece so you wont have joints this will fix onto your existing finnish using pink grip

That's great to hear that the panels seem to have good water resistance!Just had my shower done with panels.
