Fixing Shower Door and Screen Leaks
No shower door should leak.
Leaks can come from the bottom edge of the door, the hinge side, corner joints, the closing gap, the shape of the screen, or from an ageing seal strip that is no longer fitted in the right position. This section brings together practical leak-prevention guides for shower doors, shower screens, and bath screens.
Before buying a replacement seal strip, it is worth identifying the exact source of the leak first. Some leaks are indeed caused by a failed seal, while others may be related to gaps, installation position, or the style of the door. In those cases, you may need a different type of seal strip.
First, Find the Leak Point
Why Shower Doors Have Gaps
Understand why there is a gap in your shower door — and whether your gap is normal.
Frameless Shower Door Leak Points
First, find where your frameless shower door is leaking, then look for the right solution for that specific problem.
Bottom Edge Leaks
Why Water Appearing Under the Shower Door
A lot of water is leaking, and the shower bottom seal is barely doing anything. Please check this guide to find out what is causing your leak.
How do you seal the bottom of a shower door?
If you’ve found the cause, or already understand the cause and only want to see the solution, please go straight to this guide.
Edges, Hinges and Corners
Water from a Shower Corner
The bottom seal strip blocks most of the water flow, but there is still a small, annoying leak in the corner that you just can’t ignore. The seal strip simply can’t stop the water at the corner.
Hinge Side Leaks
Water is leaking from beside the seal strip near the hinge, or through the gap in the hinge. Please check this guide to fix it.
Shaped and Folding Screens
L-Shaped Shower Screen Leaks
L-shaped screens can allow water out around the lower edge, corner area or side return. This guide helps you choosing a solution.
Folding Shower Screen Leaks
A folding shower screen has more moving edges than a standard panel. As a result, the joint where the vertical seal meets the bottom seal is prone to leaking. Please check this guide to find the cause of the leak and how to fix it.
Browse Seals by Leak Area
Once you have found where the water is escaping, browse the seal collections most often used for bottom edges, side gaps and closing edges.
