Shower Screen stuck on tiles

[isaact4569]

Hi,

The previous owner had a shower screen installed in the bathroom, its one of those Outasight shower screens (attached image). The previous own has put some sort of glue or silicone to the screen which is fixed to the wall. I haven't been able to remove these. Theres no screws going into the wall. I tried to pull it but it didn't work. Ideally I don't want to disturb the tiles but is there a way of removing this from the wall which has tiles? I was thinking a multi-osillating tool but I'm not sure if this will damage the tiles.

This type of screen is very expensive for what it is (made of plastic). The shwoer screen is broken and the parts are very expensive and we are thinking of getting rid of it and just use a normal rod but not sure how to remove this off the wall without dusturbing the wall tiles.

Thanks.

Isaac

I wonder if they used a polymer?
With mastic use a knife blade and run down behind. Start at the top.
So run a Stanley blades down cutting in from either side

I used carving knife with Stanley blades before but the blade broke. The blade wouldn't even move behind.

Have you thought of just replacing the glass https://www.google.com/search?q=gla...wQyMC4yoAfikAGyBwQxOC4yuAeZDQ&sclient=gws-wiz

The Outasight shower screen doesn't use glass. It only comes and works with a vinyl shower curtain and the rod from both ends is broken and not replaceable with these type of screens and a new one costs £268.

I have a very thin & sharp 1 -1/2 in putty knife/scraper just for slicing through silicone sealent .Cheese wire useful as well.
