Fix tub/shower leak ( on side) 

Or it has deteriorated after time and you truly do have a leak. Maybe house shifted and there is a small gap now. I say with love!

Because it's a little every time, you don't notice until the damage is obvious. I've been in my house 20 years and we just started seeing the damage last year. Out damaged the ceiling of a closet that is underneath.

Used durabond and mesh tape, wasn't bad enough to remove drywall

I don't at this time

I clicked hoping to see the drywall patch myself as that's what the thumbnail showed and I have that problem.

@@tubesockets120v sorry about that, will make sure to show patchwork next time😞

@@GetToThePointplz123 no worries. My repair area that's damaged is smaller than what you show here but down to the studs. It is in the same location as this repair. Can I tape it and use Durabond 45 too?

@@tubesockets120v absolutely

Sorry, next time

That particular tub patch I don't

Not exactly sure where your leak is or how big the hole is?Plumbers putty or silicone should work

Most remodel tubs with seems are made to direct water back into the tub , the last few inches should be caulked when its installed to insure it doesn't run out of the tub onto the floor or into the drywall. You have to make sure your caulk gets all the way in and around the outside corner otherwise water will get behind the caulk and cause an issue like the one here. If it was done during install this probably wouldn't have occurred

Hard to find but anyone who does bath remodeling, handyman, carpenter...best thing is ask friends and family who they would recommend, good luck👍

If its really bad cut the drywall out completely and replace before mudding, that one there I went over with durabond 45 and mesh tape then finish coat

I have that same exact thing. Does something like that travel and damage the structure of the building or wall? Or does it generally stay in that area? mine is from being splashed with water
