Discuss Can moisture get trapped behind shower cladding? in the Bathrooms, Showers and Wetrooms area at PlumbersForums.net

Hello. I was replacing a shower tray and took off some old waterproofing silicone. Then the next day, there were some water droplets coming from behind the cladding. When I was removing the glass panel and taking off old silicone, there was some water droplets coming out from there as well. Could there be a leak or moisture trapped behind the cladding?
 
Only one way to find out other than leaving it for a week to see if it drys up
 
Thank you for your messages. The water seems to have dried up. Possibly some moisture went in from a tiny hole on the cladding.
Should I put any water proofing at the back of this tray? Also, this is the best I can fit it in, is it good enough to be siliconed now?

Not sure you can do much waterproofing now the panels are in. Careful bead of silicone around and follow mi's esp on the silicone on the door and frame. If the timbe behind was dry when you exposed it, you're in good shape.
