Hi,

I realise it's a common problem to have leaks around whee shower trays meet walls, but I'm looking for a cheap solution that might be a bit different to other things suggested.

Basically, I have a shower tray (no up stands and curverd around outside and inside), a small gap and then tiled walls where the tiles go down just below the level of the tray. I've tried everything to seal it - massive loads of sealant, l-shaped pastic pieces etc., and currently have 2 layers of sealings and yet still it leaks.

The only thing that works, is to take 3 strips of polathene, and selotape then at the edges of the tray and on the tiles. Obvously, this doesn't look very good, but as it works, I was wondering if there was any product I could which would achieve the same thing? Basically, something to form a skin that cover the area starting from the tray to around the walls?

TIA

1.regrout or fill the the gaps between tiles
2.remove the old silicone completely
3.use new silicone where the tiles meet the tray and i guarantee it wont leak.
