Leaking shower glass

Featured Replies

Can anyone give any recommendations on how to stop the leak via the little gap? Silicone?

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

Silicone outside only, you want water to be able to escape inwards

Thanks, is this normal with these types of glasses?

Is what normal? 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.

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?

What do you mean by baths fault?

The edge of the bath slopes outwards instead of towards the bath.

if you put water on the side it should run into the bath.

If hinged as above wouldn’t add silicone, some form of silicone trim slid on to the glass is usually the normal.
