Is there no hob? It looks as if there could or should have been?

Thanks Kate. This is the newly renovated bathroom. There is the frameless door which opens halfway. I’ve seen many designs like this but don’t why mine sort of having this issue in that the water flows from the shower screen amd down to the edge and comes out. I think your stopper idea is worth trying. Let me talk to my builder. Greatly appreciated!

Thanks Macyjean. There is a shower hob but the pic may not show it clearly.

Is the shower screen level in its position? Water will always go straight down the shower screen back into the shower. Use a spirit level on the top of the screen and check if shower screen is level. If it is level then this should not effect the natural run of the water. If level check the actual shower screen and see if it is damaged and some how diverting the water horizontally.

If everything is level and there is no damage to the glass, then maybe install a water seal on your shower door. it attaches to the base of glass and stops the water from going out of the gap between the hob and the screen.

example of strip. they available from any plumbing suppliers.

Thanks a lot for the answer. I checked and the glass is good. I suspected the hob may not be exactly level given the floor may not be exactly level. That’s probably why water flows through the gap and then spills out. I should talk to my builder re the water seal but I imagine they have to lift the glass screen and attach the seal? Is this a normal thing as part of the renovation or is this something extra if I ask the builder to do it?

The seal is for the door. The screen should work, it should be siliconed in place, it should not need to be lifted to attach anything. Unless I misunderstood your question?

You should not need to ask for anything extra to stop the floor outside the shower from getting so wet. I know some shower styles are less able to contain water, but if constructed properly it should still basically be flowing back towards the drain. And if you have a hob and a screen and a door they should work very effectively if constructed properly. Having a shower built that works properly should be standard, not something you have to ask for.

As macyjean has said. The strip to seal is attached to the underside of the shower door!!!!. As per the photo. You can do this yourself. You do have a door? ....I thought you said you did. If the actual hob is not level, then that is your problem. The hob should be level, it’s the shower recess floor that should be sloped towards the drain.

I may have confused you guys but there is no door. The shower is half screened with a hob. I’ve attached another pic so you can see what I meant. So I can’t attach a strip to the door. I think the reason is that the hob is not level which causes the water to flow through the gap and then to the end of the screen before it flows out to the outside. Hope it’s clearer this time. But you have been so helpful!

The picture

I have a shower which is similar and the shower screen is not centred on the ledge , but just overlapping the inside vertical tile edge so that the water flows straight down and cannot flow along the ledge .

That’s the one I have in the other bathroom. That one is working perfectly fine. So I probably need to get the bunt strip suggested by Kate. Thanks for sharing!

How long is the actual shower screen?? Since you do not have a door!!. A shower screen any smaller than 1000mm in length will always have water spraying into the bathroom area. When showering the water spray would, on average, reach up to 1200mm.

Thanks everyone for the advice and greatly appreciated. My builder will come next Monday to have a look. I think a bund strip or similar is probably the best solution.
