Leaky shower
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?

Re: Leaky shower
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
