Shower door adjusted so it closes and seals properly. No more water escaping onto bathroom floor. Hinges realigned, seals replaced if needed, everything tested working.
### That Annoying Puddle After Every Shower
You finish showering and there's **water all over the bathroom floor**. Again. The door doesn't quite close flush. Or it closes but water still escapes. You've been living with it, mopping up each time.
Meanwhile the water is slowly damaging your flooring, possibly rotting the bath panel, maybe dripping into the room below.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Shower doors leak for 3 main reasons - hinges sagged, seal perished, or door warped. First two are easily fixable. Third means replacement. I'll diagnose which it is.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Old enclosures:** If your shower enclosure is 10+ years old and a discontinued model, finding exact replacement parts can be hard. Universal seals usually work, but hinges might need creative solutions or full door replacement. **Persistent leaks:** If adjustment and new seals don't fix it, the door might be warped (cheap enclosures do this) or the glass has moved in the frame. Both mean replacement, not adjustment. **Limescale buildup:** Regular cleaning prevents problems. Limescale builds up in tracks, on seals, and on magnetic strips. Stops things working smoothly and sealing properly. Monthly clean with limescale remover prevents most issues. **While I'm there:** Other bathroom jobs needing attention? Toilet seat loose, tap dripping, tiles need re-grouting? I'll do them for the same callout - makes sense to sort everything at once.
Frequently Asked Questions about Shower door adjustment in Ottery St Mary
Why is my shower door letting water out?
Usually it's sagged over time so doesn't close flush anymore. Or the seal has perished. Or the hinges need adjusting. Sometimes it's just limescale buildup stopping the magnetic seal from working. Most are fixable without replacing the whole door.
Can you adjust any type of shower door?
Most types yes - hinged doors, sliding doors, bi-fold doors, pivot doors. Each has different adjustment methods. Some easier than others. I'll assess what you've got and whether it's adjustable or needs parts replacing.
What if it needs new seals or parts?
I carry common shower door seals. For specific parts (hinges, handles, runners), I can usually get them same-day from plumber's merchant if it's a standard enclosure. Obscure or discontinued models might need ordering.
Will adjusting it fix the leak permanently?
If the door just needs realigning, yes. If the seal is perished, I'll replace it. If the hinges are worn out or the door has warped, that's a bigger job. I'll tell you honestly what's possible and what isn't.
My shower door has been dripping for months - has it damaged anything?
Possibly - water escaping regularly can damage flooring, rot the bath panel, or seep into ceiling below. I'll check for obvious damage while I'm there. Worth fixing quickly before water causes bigger problems.
