Camden Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Hi, Attaching before and after photos, for a shower leak in the left corner of the shower. When I run the shower for 5mins, no issues. When I spray water in the left corner I get water coming out. I removed the silicone and re sealed, but still have leak. Before -Leaking from the outside, through the left inside corner of the shower AFTER -Still leaking, in the blue area, but its not leaking from the orange section any more, so some of the leak has been fixed. AFTER.pdf -I'm think the leaks through this blue area, there's a bit of a gap, would it make sense to seal this bit? AFTER 2.pdf Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGrahamT21 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 You need some of this stuff to push into the gap: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174673142912 Haven't spent time checking its cheapest, but that type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It can be very difficult to find and seal leaks in shower screens, often the water is getting under or behind the metal frame and travelling to where it comes out/appears to. Silicon on the outside rarely works because the water is still getting out of the shower area. Quite possible it is the frame to wall connection which usually requires removal of the screen and sealant applied before fitting the frame back against the wall and base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camden Posted November 27 Author Share Posted November 27 @MikeGrahamT21- this looks interesting, but I'm thinking, I still have some silicone sealant left over, I could use to fill. @markc- I understand what your saying and think its the frame to wall connection too, I've not removed the screen before, so hoping to fix it without having to do this. Sounds like thats unavoidable? @Mr Punter- how difficult/long do you think it would be to remove the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Simple to remove the wall profile. You will need a Stanley knife to cut the mastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
