How to reattach shower screen?

[mblewis]

Hi.

Whilst attempting to remove old silicone as part of a resealing project, I have detached my shower screen from the bathroom wall. I suspect I accidentally went to deep with the plastic scraper and severed the adhesive.

Whilst reattaching, I'm also seeking a strategy to reattch the other end where the existing masonry plug has pulled out ofthe wall. I could grout the hole and redrill but, as I currently see it, this will always be a weak point

I'm looking for some help on:

[*] How to reattch the shower screen including methods to mechanically fix.

[*] Methods to repair masonry plugs/holes in walls to permit re-drill and plug.

[*] Can this be redone with a frameless shower screen considering the shape of the hob wall etc.

Labelled photos included to show what I'm contending with! Thanks!

Hi @MitchellMc 

The screen was originally held in place by an adhesive (tape or glue, appears to be tape), no mechanical fixing. Although once all the old adhesive was removed, there were holes in the channel for screws. There's a photo of the tape/adhesive in the original post ("Photo of edge of shower screen shower adhesive").

The shower screen was attached along the edge of the tiles and I'm assuming the adhesive was to prevent the tiles from cracking.

I'm attempting to ascertain the correct adhesive product. I could drill with a tile bit but concerned with the proximity to the edge of tiles, it could crack.

Hi @mblewis 

"Frameless" glass shower screens are secured using the silicone I suggested. "Framed" use a U-channel thats first mechanically secured to the tiled wall then. silicone bead within the channel to secure the glass screen.
