Repairs & Maintenance

Shower enclosure repair

A shower screen that leaks, drops, sticks or has gone mouldy at the seals is usually fixable, new seals, a realigned or re-hinged door and fresh silicone often restore it without a full replacement.

Sound familiar?

  • Water leaking out of the enclosure
  • Door dropped, dragging or hard to open
  • Perished, mouldy or missing seals
  • Loose glass panel or wobbly hinge
  • Cracked or broken shower glass (safety)

Likely causes

Perished seals & silicone

Old seals and failed silicone let water out and mould in.

Dropped or worn hinges

Hinges wear so the door drops and drags or misaligns.

Loose fixings

Fixings work loose in the wet environment and panels move.

Safety: If the shower glass is cracked or broken, stop using the shower and keep the area clear, shower glass is toughened safety glass and a damaged panel should be replaced, not used. Note it in your enquiry.

Repair or replace?

Leaks, dropped doors and perished seals are typically repaired, new seals, realignment or new hinges and fresh silicone. If the glass is broken or the frame has corroded through, we replace the affected part; see shower enclosures.

Usually yes. Leaks are often perished seals or failed silicone, sometimes a dropped door. New seals and realignment typically fix it.

Replace. Shower glass is toughened safety glass; a cracked panel should be taken out of use and replaced, not repaired.
