Hi all,
I have an alcove shower (so, small shower - three walls and a door basically) it was installed a few years back but I need to re-do the sealant as it's coming away from the walls.
A few questions then as I'm puzzled by how it's been put in.
There is sealant around the outside - between door and wall, and along the bottom. That's fine.
On the inside, the sealant runs up to the door frame, but not under it (I would have thought you'd do the sealant first, and then fit the door?) it's also on the three wall sides, but not at the door side - so water could creep under the door frame and then get stopped by sealant on the outside, but... would that run the risk of mould that I can't see?
Door is one of these - https://www.elegantshowers.co.uk/elegant-700-mm-pivot-door-6mm-framed-shower-enclosure.html - if that makes any difference...
Basically, do I just re-do what they've done when installing, or should it be done differently?
