a) Membrane in your shower is your property, not a common property, regardless of where the unit property lines are drawn on the condo plan in your particular condominium building. There are a couple of ways they could vary but these variations are irrelevant to your case. It is your property all the way to concrete floor (in case of a concrete building) or all the way to the joist (in case of a wood-frame building).
b) CondoCorp has the right to enter and make a repair into your private property if it causes damage to the common property. It takes some enforcement and legalities but they can do it if you don't address it in time.
c) My suggestion, don't waste time at this point, and get your own workers to do this (you might need more than a plumber though to take the insert out and install it back - think of a drywaller and painter as well).
d) If the leak caused damage to the common property, you will be responsible for the cost of repairing it. your property management company will take care of this, most likely and issue a bill.
e) Damage to the membrane is a latent defect (the one you could not have seen at the time of occupancy), so you might have a claim against the builder, provided that you bought it new from the builder, of course. If you bought on MLS from a previous owner and the unit is more than 5 years old, (when most structural condo warranties expire), you are on your own.
Hope it helps.
