Hi

The wall and bath are not 90 degrees to each other and there would be a slight and increasing gap going away from the wall between the screen and bath.

Any tips on how best to rectify this and does it matter if i do anything before i tile the wall. :?:

Cheers

heeellloooo Concussed :D:D

all depends how much the deviation is ,how your shower screen is fixed and wether it has any adjustment!!!!!!!

assuming theres no adjustment and its only 1 or 2mm at the fixing point
you could adjust the tiles at the securing points[possibly as few as 2] and make shure they are square to the bath or the complete run

or use firm rubber or softish plastic and padd out the supporting brackets

say it needs to move 2mm to level and your padding material is 1mm thick use 3 pieces 1/4 1/2 3/4 the width lined up at the outside edge giving you a wedge shape to square up the panel so when compressed the the material will give a firm base

tighten the screws firm but not fully tight [about half a turn out ]you should then providing the material is firm enough by unscrewing or tightening a 1/4 turn get some minute adjusment in the screen but dont overtighten if it wont pull into line make shure all the high side screws are loosend by a quarter turn if that dosnt work youll probably need a further 1/4 packing strip on the high side

clear as mud eeehhh :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: ;)
 
Fasten the channel to the wall and then offer up the panel. Check it for height (use spacers) and level and then drill through the channel into the screen. It should tell you all this in the instructions.
