Hi there. Have searched but not found anything similar so here goes.
I had a shower tray and screen recently installed, with the screen sitting on the tray. The bottom of the screen was sealed on the outside of where it sits on the shower tray.
When used, water travelled from left to right along where the inside of the screen and tray touch until it reached the end of the screen and flowed off the edge onto the tiles. (The phrase "capillary action" keeps springing to mind here).
In an attempt to resolve, I dried under the screen and sealed the inside edge with 6mm (I think) sealant using Fugi. The result is the same.
Strategically placing two bottles of shampoo so that they touch the internal sealant and overhang the edge redirects the water but this isn't long-term viable!
I've cleaned the edge with meths and RainX.
My only other idea is to find some form of water repellant spray/cream and apply that to the edge area immediately just inside the right-end of the screen, so that water is redirected into the tray before it gets to the end of the screen. Any ideas of products? Vaseline will likely do it but isn't ideal.
Any further thoughts, other than getting the builder back to raise the end corner of the tray (which I would prefer to avoid).
Answers much appreciated in advance.
