Need some ideas to fill a gap between wall and shower cubicle edge

[Ambernewbie]

Hi everyone. I hope I am putting this in the correct forum. We had a shower installed a couple of years ago now the sealant is mouldy and needs replacing. I have a problem - I dont know why or how but when the 'plumber' ( I use the word plumber very loosely) put the cubicle in there is a gap between 1 side of the cubicle and the wall. At the top it is a good inch but by the time I get to the bottom there is nothing. It was filled with sealant and not very tidily but now the sealant is black and mouldy and I want to replace it. I have great difficulty to get it all out as it is a very tight corner and the shower itself is close to it. Can anyone suggest what I could use to fill this gap please. The cubicle itself is the usual silvery coulour. Could i use some beading or something similar. Sorry for the long winded story but needed to explain.

Might have been better in the plumbing forum, but anyway a photo would help us a lot to help with decision on what to use. Could you not just re-seal it?

Should i repost it in the plumbing forum please?
Its really difficult to take a picture.
Because of the different width of gap I just dont know what to fill it with.

That’s up to you, but you may get more responses. You could report the post,which goes to mods and they can move it. Maybe fill initially with silicone and maybe use some sort of plastic trim?
