Just to be clear: I mean there is a 10mm vertical distance between the bottom of the tiles and the top of the tray. Not a horizontal gap between the tray and the wall.
Raising the tray may be difficult and certainly not my first choice. I found this product in Woodies:
Homelux Bath Seal White ( Over Tile ) Sealastrip 1.83M | Woodie's (woodies.ie)
Will this be effective in preventing leaking (in combination with silicone sealant)?
Any alternative suggestions?
Any tips for installation to avoid leaking (especially at the corners)?
