Shower screen leaking at bottom

[Matt887]

This shower screen is leaking at the bottom, where the black bit meets the seal. Will this seal up OK again with silicone. Or would you advise changing the screen?

The seal seems ok

Remove the existing silicone from wall all the way to the where the seal meets the screen. Clean it and dry it ,then apply new silicone.

That should cure it? as the seal seems. OK tight right up to the bath/the screen.

 

[terryplumb]

Yes ,right upto the seal. But you must remove all traces of the existing silicone

Thanks I did think of removing and fitting a new one. Bit if it's siliconed to the tiles removal could be ackward too.

Yes ,could be difficult to remove ,but not impossible. Unless there is something wrong with it , or it doesn't look as nice as you want it to ,I would just re seal it.
