Q: Whenever anyone takes a shower in our bathroom, I notice water leaking onto the basement ceiling below. The leak doesn't start right away, but a few minutes into the shower. We had the ceramic tiles on the shower floor regrouted and then replaced the first couple
of rows of the wall tiles, but that only helped for a few months. The
shower pan is fiberglass, and one plumber told me it's part of the
problem. Does that sound right?

Before using a pipe wrench or slip-joint pliers on a tub faucet or showerhead, wrap the fixture with a washcloth to prevent the tool's teeth from permanently scratching the finish.
