Plumbing Leak

Have several damp patches in middle floor ceiling. They are close together. Above them is a bath, a shower, 2 sinks & 2 toilets. I had Co-op Rescue Plus in and they could not find anything, and do not cover further investigation (breaking the ceiling). Cannot get a local plumber till late January. The emergency plumbers (used by Resue Plus) will come out after Christmas for £90 / hour plus VAT. My deductible is £150 on my normal building policy.
Any tips - the leaks are not serious, but you never know. Should I hang on for a local at about £30 / hour?

Nice to save.

Check the silicon round the bath and shower areas, if it's been a while since it was done then it may have perished.
That and the shower waste would be my first guess.
Can you take the bath panel off? Shouldn't be to hard, get a torch, run the bath and look for damp patches. Finding the problem will at least tell you what not to use.0
