Pour a bucketful of water into the tray.

If it drains quickly, no problem, but if it's sluggish it could be blocked by hair and ****.

The seal around the drain can fail. Unscrew the retaining screw and either replace the top gasket or apply a bead of silicone before refitting the cover.

Check the silicone around the edges. It only takes a tiny crack to allow water to pass. If it has failed, remove it all and apply silicone using a Cramer Fugi Profiling Tool (or similar) NOT your finger.
