Hi all, not long purchased our new home and getting on with sorting out leaks, damages and problems before Winter.

A problem I hadn’t immediately noticed was this leaking shower tray. Years ago I had a bath with a pivoting glass screen. To seal this I sealed the inside junction between the chrome hinge strip and the bath, and also added a uPVC strip at the bath edge.

With this ‘new shower’, I can’t figure out (without raking out the silicone) where the seal should be.

Can anybody share how they would stop this leak in the corner? I have good sanitary sealant (Dow) to replace it, but just wanted to know how I should re-seal it before starting.

You need to remove as much of that dodgy sealant as possible, sharp wood chisel works well and clean the limescale off before attempting any new sealant.
