I have an over the bath glass shower screen. Where the screen meets the tiled wall there is a rubber type seal. Water is getting through this seal at the joints between the tiles. Is it acceptable to run silicon sealant along the screen/wall to stop this leak?

Does the screen pivot or is it fixed.
If it pivots does the rubber seal move.
If the seal doesnt move then a drop of silicone won't harm it.
If you need to change your bathscreen consider a fixed one like this.

When used in conjunction with a shower curtain it provides a watertight solution.

I'm assuming that it's the support that's fixed to the wall that the screen pivots from? If so, remove the screen from the wall and dot some silicone into the grout joints in line with where the rubber seal goes. Then just refit the screen and the silicone will fill in the gaps.
