I have a leak where my inner flange meets the ceramic title in my shower. I cut a hole in the ceiling below and can see where it's leaking. I don't think it's the liner. My question is what prouduct do you recommend to put between the flange and the title. I used a title grout repair type caluk and the leak has stop but the grout eventually start to wash away. Is there a prouduct that will hold up and not wash away?

I take it "inner flange" translates to the lip of the shower drain. I'll answer your question but I'm bothered by the fact that even if water is leaking past the drain it should get diverted from the shower pan back into the drain through the "weep holes" in the flange type shower drain used in tile shower installations. To seal under the lip of a shower drain we use a thin rope of plumbers putty or a layer of silicon jel. The excess gets squeezed out and wiped away as the drain gets tightened. Take another look and see if there is any moisture around the outside of the shower pan. Faulty grout where the stream hits the tile would allow water to drip down outside the shower pan walls and come out on the ceiling. Weep holes are designed to carry away water that seeps down through the tile floor which would include a leaky drain lip. About the only way they would fail is if the weep holes were blicked at the time the tile floor was installed. If, after resealing the drain, you find you still have a leak I would check where the stream hits the tile
Wall. Good luck, Tom
