Leaky shower

Post by jimwinn »

What a pain. It leaks under the front perspex bit with the slidy door. I've resealed it a couple of times and after a couple of weeks the sealant is black and mouldy. How can I fix this problem?

Figured it out I think

The sealant was an all purpose cheapie

Scraped it out today and got some proper anti-bacterial stuff

Hopefully this will do the trick

I noticed that the gap between the shower walls is pretty tight at the edges (near the walls) but is much bigger (1/4") in the middle where the slidey door is

The tiles are on top of a flexible mat type thing which was laid on the timber joists

Getting the water to drain properly really is the root of the problem :cry: :oops:
