HI just wondering if anyone can advise, I need to reseal a shower tray and also the sliding door frame as it currently has a leak comeing from the bottom left of the door frame and is damaging the wall next to it. The shower tray itself needs the silicone replaced on all sides. I know that I need to reseal the outside of the door frame and not the inside but do I need to remove the door frame first to properly reseal the shower tray? The frame covers maybe 2 inches of the front bit of the tray where the tiles are on each side so can't get access to remove the old silicone seal and put new silicone down in that part. Do I leave the the frame on and just seal what I can or do I remove the door frame first? Any advice would be appreciated Thanks
I recently had to seal a tray for a customer that was leaking through exactly that point - where door frame meets tray, meets wall. No choice in my case but to remove the frame which had unfortunately been sealed everywhere else - inside, outside and on the whole of the mating surface between frame and tiles. Grrr.....
Hi When the tray is sealed, to the wall, it’s normally done befor the frame is fitted, Then when to frame is fitted and you seal the outside of the frame, any water tracking down the inside of the frame, (as it’s designed to) will exit in to the tray! If the tray to wall seal stops short of frame, the water can track out and no amount of sealant will stop it Hope that’s clear Regards Peter
Thanks for you advice on this guys, I did have a go a takign the frame out but the top part seem to have a screw at each end with no room to fit a screw driver to unscrew this, any ideas? Thanks
Hi The rail is in two pieces , to remove the frame there are little screws with caps on, The inner rail is fixed to wall, then the outer frame is slotted in the inner one, to allow for walls out of Plumb . Then the little screws are fixed to hold it together The screw you’re looking at, is not to be removed, it’s holding the frame together Hope that’s clear Regards Peter
