    Leak in ceramic shower floor
    Hello,
    I have a leaky floor in my shower stall, it is 4x4 ceramic tile. The grout is cracked in spots and I'd like to find a temporary fix that will allow me to use the shower in the short term. The plan is to remodel the whole bathroom but that won't happen for a number of months. Is there a product I could use that will be effective? I'm not concerned about cosmetics so an ugly fix is as good as a pretty one. Thanks for any help

    Caulking or silicone is the only thing that comes to mind. Seems kind of unlikely that the leak is in the floor or pan though. Too many water barriers in a properly built pan unless the floor has moved or cracked. More likely that the leak is in walls if grout is cracked or missing.
