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.

A picture of the offending side would help, one showing the whole end with another couple closer in. Most shower doors allow adjustment to allow out of true walls/tray's to be accommodated but an inch (25mm) is quite a bit out though and it may already be at the maximum adjustment too.

First thoughts would be to put a piece of facing/profile on it to bridge the gap.

I dont know why it was done all I know it looks awful. I have tried to take a pic but its impossible because of where the shower itself is situated. I think I will go with some facing - anything is better than the way it looks now.
Thanks for your help
