Homebase bathrooms are everywhere in the UK.
They’re popular because they’re simple, affordable, and do the job.
The problem? Homebase don’t really do shower seals.
So when the strip wears out or starts leaking, you’re left scratching your head.
Which seal actually fits?
That’s what this guide is for — helping you find the right shower screen seal that works with Homebase bathrooms.
Why you need shower door seal for Homebase bathrooms
Homebase bathrooms look great, but the fittings are limited. And they don’t sell shower seals.
So you’re left wondering — do I even need one?
The truth is, yes. Shower doors and tubs need the right size seal.
If not, water will leak everywhere.
Your floor gets soaked, and if you live upstairs, it could drip through the ceiling below.
The hard part is knowing which seal actually fits.
Generic seals don’t always match Homebase sizes.
And sending them back can cost more than the seal itself.
That’s why I’ve done the work for you.
Below, I’ll show you the seals that actually fit — so you can just pick one and order.
How to choose the right seal for a Homebase bathroom
First, check the glass thickness.
Most Homebase showers use 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm glass. Get this wrong and the seal just won’t fit.
Next, think about where the seal goes.
Is it for the bottom of the screen, the side, or a folding door?
Or the popular P shape shower screen.
Each spot needs a slightly different type of shower seals.
Measure the gap as well.
The seal has to close that space properly, or water will still leak out.
And finally, don’t go cheap.
A good seal should be durable, mould-resistant, and easy to replace.

SIMBA’s bottom seal recommendations
Got a bath with a shower panel? In most cases, our standard bottom seal will do the job.
Just match it to your glass thickness and the size of the gap.
If you’re not sure, send us your measurements. Our team will point you to the right product.
One thing we always recommend — pair it with a threshold seal. The two work best together.
We stock both soft and hard bottom seals.
-
For curved glass, go with PV29
-
For straight glass, use D510 threshold seal
Simple as that.
The position of the threshold seal is really important.
As we show in this video, make sure it sits snug against your wall.
