I have a shower pod that is permanently leaking from one corner. Everything has been sealed, re-sealed, and sealed again! Please please help, as I am waiting to tile my bathroom floor, and can't do this until I have sorted out this bl**dy leak!

Hello. I can assist you. Your shower pod is and will continue to leak no matter how much it is sealed for this reason - the floor underneath is not doing an adequate job of support. You will have to remove the pod to see what is going on underneath, either there is a weak board, a rotten board, or an undersized floor joist situation whereby the weight of your pod and its occupant is not being supported.

Don't try silicone, Use a new gasket or a new connector. The pressure will press out everything else.

Water leak thru valve when turn to shower
a lot of shower diverters do this..you may need a bigger seal on the diverter..if you can remove the spout assembly from the tub(with the diverter valve in it) and take it all to the hardware store.. see if they have a different seal/diverter that has a snugger fit but still falls to drain the shower head line out..that will slow that leakage..the spout is on a pipe and unscrews counter clockwise(normally)unless its a single valve unit..with the wide ring around the back..then that calls for a plumber..

Leaks are where the joints are not sealing and water escapes. When putting joints back together without adding a sealant or teflon (PTFE) tape, they will sometimes leak. Take the joints apart again and use a small amount of a paste designed to seal joints, spread on the threads of the joints. Tighten them firmly once and let the compound set for 10 minutes before turning on the water.

Shower drips - seems to be increasing
Need to replace your internal seals inside the shower valves.
Go to Home Depot, Lowes,etc. and make sure you take your model number and maker of your shower and they can get you the parts to repair the valves to stop your leak.
If you do not repair it soon, the water leaking by will cut your metal seat and it will never stop dripping, you will have to replace the valve and it is a MAJOR job.

Shower stall in master bath of a 15 yr old home. the shower started having water problems after about 1 year, leaking water onto the drywall next to the stall. we have tried everything-recalking, sealing...
Did you use plastic pipe? What about the shower head? Does it have a rubber o-ring in it? Pull the pipe out of the wall at the shower head and peek inside for the o-ring. If it is there, just snug up the pipe, do not over tighten. We were ready with crow bars in hand to destroy a brand new shower we just finished, because we thought we had w broken pipe, Then the owner says he torqued up the shower head as tight as he could and I read where it had to be just finger tight. One more place to check is the faucet itself, take off the trim ring and look in there for drips. It could be filling up the wall cavity and stay wet for days. I would take apart the drywall on the other side before busting up the tile again. Check it out.

Leak in the shower is leaking water through the ceiling
SInce it is wet both under and behind the shower I would rule out the drain floor pan and drain system and think it most likely to be the pipe leaking from the mixing faucets to the shower head. Find studs directly behind shower faucet, n each side. Locate the center of the studs and put vertical lines up and down on the center line of the two studs closes to but outside the shower  faucet on each side. Approximate 6 inches or so  up and down for the height of the shower faucet (Valve, not head) Put Horizontal lines across between the two line at both the top and the bottom/ You now have a square.Using a Razor knife(Sometimes called a box knife, stanley 99a for example) cut into the lines of the square back and forth as deep as you can. Cut an x  acrossthe square corner to corner again as deep as you can . Lightly hit the center of the x until the drywall caves in . Cut the remaining drywall out for the square. Now while  the shower is running you will be able to see whee the leak is. Use pipe seal after disassembling the loose fiting or repair the leak iun what ever manner is necessary. Replace and repair the hole made in the drywall  with another piece of drywall, tape and joint cement. .

Shower leak
this may not be a grout problem . I want you to run the shower and check the shower arm behind the wall plate and the toe tester(spout ) for water leaking behind the wall.If you dont find a leak than their could be a problem with the rubber membrane under your tiles.

Leaky posi temp shower valve
coming from the uk it sounds that when you mention it leaks at night its a possibility thats when the water pressure increases & the valve starts to drip?

i know its not a solution but it may help you understand why its dripping at night.

Also the seals might be damaged in which case thats why its dripping check them for damage. make sure when you put the new cartridge in that you put some silicone grease around the seals as this helps the insertion & helps protect the seals from damage.

Kindly

Some leaking from the group head of the machine is totally normal while the machine is heating. The reason for this is that the valve that sits above the shower screen is simply a spring and rubber ball. The spring expands, creating a seal with the rubber ball and the boiler, once the boiler reaches a specific temperature. Until the boiler temp is reached, leaking from the group head will occur.
