How to re-seal shower?

We have a shower with a wall/floor join that is obviously not in great shape. We also have very occasional little mushrooms sprouting at the join (actually none over the winter) which I know is bad and might mean rotten timber underneath and pulling up the whole floor at some point. In the short term I would like to properly seal the join.

This is the worst of it

Should I redo the lot? What should I use? Should I do it myself?

 

Also the glass partition detached from the floor after cleaning and is now only supported by wall attachments. I think it likely once had some clear silicon to keep water inside and stop it moving. What should I use/do here?

Re: Re-seal shower

Hello @daven25 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about the seals in your shower. If you are putting new silicone sealers, I suggest doing it all in one go so that everything is fresh and new. I propose looking at Selleys 300g White Wet Area Waterproof Silicone Sealant to seal your shower along with the glass panel.

 

Here are some handy step-by-step guides:

 

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric,

 

Can you suggest a transparent silicone for the glass panel? It might look better.
