LeakySeal Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Can anyone give any recommendations on how to stop the leak via the little gap? Silicone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Silicon would minimise the amount of water getting under the frame, but the top of the bath should slope inwards and prevent water running under the door and then over the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Silicone outside only, you want water to be able to escape inwards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you have water running under the screen and onto the floor? If so then it’s the bath at fault and not the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Assuming the screen is hinged to aid access, do you really want to silicone it? Maybe it's fixed a bit too far out? If it was moved back towards the taps a bit, would that help direct the run-off back into the bath rather than over the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hinged as above wouldn’t add silicone, some form of silicone trim slid on to the glass is usually the normal. Regards. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
