Hi all, it's our first time having a bathroom redone. We're excited it's
nearly completed, all except a leak in the bath screen hinge. We've asked
for
this to be looked at, and someone has come back twice to fix this with an
excessive amount of sealant, but water still seeps through. I attach a
picture
below, the blue arrows are the two places where water comes through.
What else can be done? I think if we ask for the plumber/joiner to come
back,
he'll just add even more sealant (at this point the whole perpendicular
corner
has sealant on already), but it doesn't seem to solve the leaks.
I'm sure the contractor just wants the bill at this stage, but we're a
little
reluctant to pay it with a wet floor after every shower in a brand new
bathroom. This probably is a common problem? Any advice is most welcomed
on
how to solve the leaks!

Pay nothing until the leak is fixed properly.

It's not going to get fixed by slathering it with silicone now. IMO, it
should be removed, all caulk THOROUGHLY removed then reinstalled on a bed of
caulk. The bed should be thick enough to get some squeeze out which should
be removed or neatly tooled.
