What is that thingy called in a shower?

Felicity

Hi, can anybody help me here because I have the world (Internet) at my fingertips and no matter what words I type into google I just cannot find out what I need to order.

It is in the bottom of a shower screen, in the gap, a furry like stick on strip that I guess is a bit of a water sealant. They look a bit icky with age and usage

Help please?

this was the first one that came up on google. I'm NOT recommending this company!

If you look on ebay for shower seal i think that's what you mean

is that it?

Wow ... thanks for the speedy replies!

No, its not a plastic screen. Its a strip of something that I assume you peel the back off and stick on and then the other side is like a fabric mat thing that turns furry over time with limescale and age and water damage.

I feel so inarticulate tonight, I wish I had a photo of the old one.

The screen surround (metal) has a small gap running along it inside (maybe 3cm wide) and it fits inside of that along the length of it.

Is that any clearer?

I'm in the big town - up the A61;) Get down your way occasionally though. I can recommend an excellent cafe in Alvaston;)

I wouldn't call 3cm a small gap. Use the link I posted earlier -there's a set of links on the left hand side - try some of those

OR
post a picture of your shower.

Do you have a manufacturer name at all?
