Rigid seal for bottom of folding bath shower screen

applefiona

I'm after an L shaped rigid sealing strip for the bottom of a folding bath shower screen. It fixes to the bath and the folding shower screen unfolds and rests against, acting as a seal to prevent water from getting past

It's the one shown in this image: imgur.com/rIVPs

Anyone know where I might find it?

Ah - it did say that I couldn't post a link but then it let me post the one above so I assumed it had gone through.

The image is at the link (it's an image hosting website). To get to the link you would type the following into your web browser address bar: www then imgur.com then a forward slash then rIVPs

I tried ebay but I couldn't find anything like that one. The ones on ebay are all flexible rubber that slot onto the bottom of the screen, rather than a rigid strip that attaches to the bath

That looks like a fairly common seal profile to me. Have you tried anywhere like B&Q? It may well be though that you'll have to use an adhesive to fix it to the bath. What's available locally may not come with an adhesive strip on the bottom.

you would normally have a seal on the bottom of the screen rather than the bath, if you fix a seal to the bath it's not going to look very nice when you move or fold back the screen.
lots of choice here
plus unless you fit it on the outside of the screen any water on the screen won't run back into the bath, but if that's really what you want then you want something like this

Thanks for the link - I went for one of the ones on there instead

I think the original one is an old style of seal. Looks like it wasn't very popular as they're all attached to the bottom of the screen now, as you say. I did manage to work out the the manufacturer of the screen, aqualux.co.uk, and they quoted me replacement seals MC 8290 (white) or MC 8292 (grey) as a replacement part for all their current folding bath shower screens, but they are also seals that you would attach to the bottom of the screen, made of very flexible rubber. I mention this in case anyone else is ever looking for the part and comes across this post in an internet search

Thanks for yours and the other posters' help
