How to replace shower glass seal?

Hi there.

We have recently moved into our first home.

The seal around the actual glass panels is in need of being replaced. I am either looking it up incorrectly or it can’t be replaced. All I can seem to find online are tutorials on how to replace the plastic seal on the bottom of the shower door or the actual silicon. This is a harder plastic tubing that runs around the glass panels that is pushed in.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks 😊

Hello @Tanny

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your shower glass seal.

Congratulations on your new home! The seal you are looking at seems to be the original rubber seal placed in the aluminium frame to hold the glass in place. This is usually installed at the factory where the shower was made.

The good news is that you can go to an aluminium and glazier shop and ask them for a quote on how much it will cost to replace the seals in your shower assembly. I understand that it is very tempting to simply cut the old seal off and replace it with silicone. Unfortunately, it does not work that way and cutting the seal will loosen up the glass and become a falling hazard. So please don't cut the seals.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hey @Tanny!

I just moved into a new place myself and found that the rubber seal along my shower screens also need replacing.

Did you manage to find a glazier that helped you out?

Thank you 😀
