Can I fit a shower seal myself?
Yes, in most cases you can easily fit a shower seal yourself. With glass showers, many seal profiles are simply clipped onto the edge of the glass. This does not usually require any specialist knowledge or complicated tools. It is important that the new shower seal is suitable for the thickness of the glass and the installation situation.
How do I remove an old shower seal from the glass door?
To remove an old shower seal, carefully peel the existing seal strip away from the edge of the glass. It is best to start at one end and work your way round slowly. Then clean the glass surface thoroughly to remove limescale, dirt and soap residue before fitting the new shower seal.
What tools do I need to fit a shower seal?
You usually only need a few tools to fit a shower seal. For cutting it to size, you could use, for example, mitre shears, an anvil shear or a fine-toothed saw. A tape measure and a soft cleaning cloth may also be useful. Many shower seals can then be fitted without the need for any additional tools.
How do I find the right shower seal for my glass shower enclosure?
The correct shower seal depends on the glass thickness, the design of your shower and the position of the seal profile. Shower seals are often required for glass thicknesses of 4–5 mm or 6–8 mm. Compare the dimensions and shape of your existing seal with the new profile. Alternatively, our profile configurator can help you make your choice.
What can I do if the new shower seal is difficult to fit?
If you find it difficult to slide the new shower seal onto the edge of the glass, first check that the profile is suitable for the thickness of the glass. Also ensure that the edge of the glass is clean and free from any residue. If necessary, you can lightly dampen the glass with clear water – preferably limescale-free – to make it easier to fit. Avoid applying excessive pressure so as not to damage the glass pane or the seal profile.
