Shower doors leaking...

    Hi folks

    Just a quick one, we've a shower cubicle in the corner of the bathroom, & the seal all along the the bottom {sealing the doors & frame/ to the shower tray itself} has started letting water out. Just drips, but along several sections, & by the end of a shower...there's a few small puddles on the floor.

    Is there much involved in resealing these?

    No just some elbow grease to clean off the old silicone/sealant and re-silicone the area again, use anti mould silicone and you will be away in a hack :)

    Oh really? I thought it was going to be a saga involving removing the doors/frame in order to be able to reseal it. Grand so, is there anything recommended for removing old silicone?

    Yes removing the whole door would be a superior job but not necessary imo, use blunt tools e.g plastic knife or use some fishing line or dental floss and see saw cutting action, if the silicone is shot it will remove easy for you.
