Without going into details on HOW I got to this point,I have a problem.My doc,a Hindu other has me do anything wrong with his house,as I am broad handyman,but cannot work every day or all time anymore due to health,and I am only one he trusts.I enjoy done many things for him.Something I don't know anything about is tile,and especially shower pan and such.So,I have been fine art his house slowly lately,and he brings me to the upstairs shower,said it's leaking downstairs.My first thought was "showerpan"though I know nil about it,I've heard it ample to suggest that,and told him to call someone that does that.I don't want to screw it up.Hetells me an "expert"online told him to get "drimmel(sp?)"bits,receive the grout out of the piece of tile that meets the shower floor,and fill near silicone caulk.So,now my question.What is a "drimmel bit" and Has anyone ever hear of this solution?The man is insistent,he won't let anyone but me in his house.I don't want to consume his money.
I deem you mean a dremel bit - you know a small rotary tool with different types of bits available for it. Ryobi also make a small rotary tool. http://au.dremel.com/html/started/starte...

i think this is what you want


Need some more details about the remains.Is this a preformed shower base?If it is then i seriously doubt the slick is coming from there.If it is tile all the style down and on the floor Then good luck finding the leak as it could be anywhere on the surface or on the wall.is it possible to obtain underneath from the first floor to view the base? a drimmel is a small rotary tool nd a drimmel bit is one of the frequent small sanding bits that go on the ruin.you should be able to get both drill and bit inexpensively.

The item is Dremel, not drimmel, this may be why you have not found anything on it. As for the leak it could be several things.
Leaking through the tiles around the tray!
The throw away area where the hose down leaves the tray!
It could also be a joint in the pipe underneath the tray between the waste trap and the waste pipe!

How to resolve the dribble. First find you need to find it.
If it is obvious that the overrun is coming through the tile then scrape out the grout verbs the area make sure its dry and verbs and apply a silicone sealant along the joint to reseal.
If its not obvious later you will need to look for where it is leak.
There may be a section of floor next to the shower tray as an access panel for repairs. (If not you will need to discern how the shower tray was fitted and reverse this process). Once you hold access put your hand under the tray see and try and find the overrun.
