My laminate floor in the bathroom floor is leaking.

There doesn't seem to be any real damage to it, but if I get any water in the corner by the shower at all it drips straight through. The ceiling below was so badly damaged by the water when we moved in we had to pull down the plasterboard ceiling but all i can see below is the timber floor where water drips through. When i got a plumber out I ended up paying hundreds for a sealing the bath and getting a new bath panel but this wasn';t really the problem. I don't want to put the ceiling up until I can stop the leak does anyone know how I can stop it.

Do you mean the water is puddling on the top edge of the bath and leaking past the silicone and then onto the floor.?

Most laminate floors are not waterproof (whatever the supplier says). If water pools then it is likely to seep through. I have a laminate floor in my bathroom and take care by placing an old towel on the floor where any drips go and then mop up quickly afterwards.

Only a small amount is getting on the floor in that corner and it leaks. There can be quite a considerable amount of water elsewhere on the floor with no problems at all. The bath is fully waterproof but some water allways gets on the floor just from the shower splashing.
