Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @achandra100. It's exciting to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about an overflowing shower.

 

We're keen to assist you with your issue, but you'll need to provide more information, so our helpful members have something to work with. What type of shower base is it? Where is the water coming from? Do you have a shower screen installed? Perhaps you might like to post a few photos to illustrate where you believe the issue arises.

 

We'll be looking forward to hearing those additional details so we can provide a solution to your issue.

Hi @achandra100

 

If you are getting an overflow, does that mean that your shower is not draining fast enough? Have you looked inside your drain cover to make sure that there is no hair or debris that's slowing down the water? If water is not draining fast enough you will get an overflow.

 

However, if the drain is clear and you're still getting overflow the only way to block it is to put something at the door. For example, the Sandleford 12 x 1000mm Black Shower Floor Channel. You can place this at the entrance and it will increase the entry height by 12mm. The only other item that can cover the entrance of your shower is a  Siniat 25 x 2400mm PVC Capping Angle Plaster Trim. You can use ordinary clear silicone to stick it to your tile floor. This will increase the height of your entrance by 25mm.

 

If you're talking about shower splash going out the shower entrance, the only way to catch that is to put a towel at the shower entrance to absorb the excess water from all the splashing.

 

Let me call on our experienced members @TedBear and @ProjectPete for their recommendations.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
