Morning
My ‘plumber’ has made a bit of an error. He installed a shower, tray and quadrant enclosure for me and it’s leaking like a sieve. First he didn’t bother to tighten the trap (oops), then I find water pouring from beneath the curved rail that sits on the tray.
I spoke to him and he said….’it’s ok mate, the weight of the enclosure will form a seal against the tray’. Aluminium against acrylic…I don’t think so. He didn’t put any silicone under there. What are my options?
1. Take the enclosure off and run a bead of silicone under the rail?
2. Run a horizontal bead of silicone along the rail from the inside, where it meets the tray?
3. Do likewise on the outside of the rail (where it would be seen)
I’d be grateful for any advice.
