Skunk smell when showering

Hello.

Finished the bathroom reno, but I noticed that when I shower there is a faint skunk smell in the shower. I haven't noticed any other odors when running water elsewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shelley

Was a P-trap installed to the shower drain when the reno was done?

You may be smelling sewer gases backing up through the pipes. Does the tub/shower drain properly??

Thanks for the replies! I checked on both.........uh...no...(so embarrassing!) - the smell was coming from the new shower attachment - plastic! :)
