leaks around the shower door and frame

[Tones]

we installed the shower doors ourselves but there still seems to be leakes in the corners to outside the shower base. i have tried silicon but there are still some leakes coming out. any thing else i can use instead of silicon just to completly seal it off?

Silicon is the only job really. You just have to seal everywhere properly. Do all the sealing inside of the shower then if you make a mess it can't be seen from the outside.

Might be obvious but when you are sealing it make sure that someone is standing inside the shower itself. There may be some 'movement' occuring when you enter the shower. If the sealant is applied when someone is in the shower then it should cover this 'movement'.

good tip Gonzo, also if your appling sealant to a bath fill it up with water.

Hi, we had the same problem on one shower door. Silicon just would not seal it on one small point. Get a high quality sealer in a similar tube as silicon tube such as Tec 7. This will seal any leak. Costs about 13 euro a tube approx. All the best. Optimistic
