We have a folding bath screen, orginally bought from B&Q (?). Is anyone aware of a supplier for the rubber seal with the bath which has become damaged? It has a key hole profile and slides into the screen, someone somewhere must make miles of it everday.

    It's gonna be an obvious reply here....sorry !
    B&Q is your 1st port of call.

    If they can't fiind you the manufacturers name of their supplied goods...then they want shooting. !

    Most of their stuff is from recognised brand names and should be available.

    Try to find out the manufacturers name and contact the manufacturer yourself...don't waste your time asking B&Q to sort it. It will be much quicker dealing with the manufacturer yourself.

    Ever been to a DIY chain on the South coast and got a sensible answer about anything? I was amazed at the difference in both knowledge and attitude when I was up in Stockton the other month. Plus, I am not sure it was even bought there and there is no manufacturer mark.

    A similar thing happened with our screen door, but quite some time ago. We went back to where we had purchased the door and they gave us the details of the manufacturer of the door, who in turn gave us the manufacturer of the rubber seal. They happened to be located not a great distance from us. We contacted them, ordered the stuff and went to collect a good supply.

    Why not post up a photo of the shower screen. Someone may recognise it.
    Maybe get a close up of the rubber seal you require :confused:

    Go to a double glazing firm where they fix mend or install double glazing and allsorts, when I used to to glazing we kept all manner of seals and gaskets seals and captive gasket seals and they will give you metres for pence.

    Good afternoon: As the OP started this thread in 2005, I suspect he/she has found a solution:D Are you connected with the referred site?

    Would put money on him/her being associated!! Looking at the prices it is cheaper to buy a new screen from Argos.

    p.s.
    Buying a screen from Argos is showering suicide!
