Shower screen seal - leak from the corner

steviep43

I've got a standard shower screen on the side of my bath. It is sealed along the bottom and the side by the wall with a standard plastic detachable seal strip. However where the two strips of plastic meet in the bottom corner, there is a tiny hole where they don't quite meet properly and hence we get a little leak every shower and this has caused my bath panel to buckle. Is there something which can be bought to join the two seals strips together thus closing up the hole? Or perhaps buying a seal which is moulded at a 90 degree angle and therefore won't have a gap?

Thanks

Can you not just put a little bit of silicone there?

I don't think silicone will work as when you open the screen the seal on the bottom moves away with it. The seal between the screen and the wall also comes away to allow it to be cleaned. Therefore I'm not entirely sure where the silicone would go. What I want is some kind of flexible corner seal on a hinge which creates a permanent seal between the two but is flexible enough to allow the door to open. I just don't think they exist!

You can buy replacement seals, they slide on and off. Just make sure the corner joint is cut well. We have a similar problem but ours leaks via the frame holding the glass.
