Walk in shower screen and reseal

We were called to this leaking shower tray that had been leaking through the ceiling when in use, our initial investigations found that the factory seal on the screen had failed allowing water to get through onto the floor and down a small gap in the poorly fitted plinth. The sealant around the tray did not appear to be leaking, however it had been very poorly sealed up with clear sealant that had got all over the tray and tiles and a poor quality plastic edging strip had been stuck over the top.

We removed the screen, edging strip and sealant, cleaning the shower tray and tiles back and cleansing with antibacterial wipes. The screen was then replaced with a better quality screen that has only 1 replaceable seal on the profile and was fully sealed into place with clear silicone. The tray was then totally resealed with white sealant and then the plastic plinth was refitted and sealed up.

The end result brought a new lease of life to this old walk in shower enclosure, freshening it up and resolving the leak.
