Walk in Shower, water flowing out onto floor

    Hi All,

    Small problem with my walk in shower...

    We have no door on the entry (3 walls surrounding) and while the shower floor is sloped there is one spot right at the end of the slower where the water is flowing out the open side and all along the the floor of the bathroom leaving me with a pool that needs to be wiped up after every use.

    The whole area is tanked so i'm not concerned about damage or anything its just a real pain in the ass!

    Is there any "lip" device i can get to be stuck along the floor with sealant or something that will just act as a barrier and stop the water flowing out?

    Sounds like it wasn't fitted right so your stuck, your best way out would be to go to a tile shop and buy a nice silver strip cut it to the length and stick it with tec7.

    If the shower was working right originally
    and this problem only occurred after many
    uses, it could be a blocked waste.
    If so try plunging or some folks try Mr. Muscle.

    Otherwise 650gs suggestion is an option. . .

    The drain is not blocked and overall i'm very happy with the look and function of the shower it's just one spot at the end that the water flows out, the shower area is slightly longer than the slanted base that went in and unfortunately it's just that spot that the water is flowing out of the shower rather than in toward the drain.

    I will see if i can get one of those lip things and get some of that Tek7 stuff to seal it with.

    Thanks
