MMM!

My shower started leaking to the bathroom floor a few days ago and I
have identified that the water is running under the inside of the
door, and through the silicone sealant on the outside of the door.

I was about to seal the inside of the door when I read your post.

Why shouldnt we seal inside the bottom of the door - other than
because the instructions say so?



Because any water that gets into the frame whilst using the shower can
drain out of the frame and into the tray.


Makes sense.

What is the solution?


Remove the silicon, dry and clean *THOROUGHLY* with meths etc, if you think
it's clean do it again! Then redo the silicone.
