Shower screen seal replaced with proper watertight fit. Stops water escaping onto your bathroom floor and gets rid of that mouldy old seal.
### When Every Shower Becomes A Mopping Job
That **puddle of water on the bathroom floor** after every shower? The black mouldy seal that's peeling away from the screen? You've been meaning to sort it for months but keep putting it off.
Replacing a shower seal is **quick work when you know what you're doing** - half an hour and your shower's watertight again.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Mouldy shower seals aren't just ugly - they mean water's getting where it shouldn't. Over time that can damage flooring and lead to bigger problems. Better to sort it now.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Remove Old Seal Strip out the old seal completely - all of it, not just the loose bits. Clean off any residue or mould so we're fitting to a clean surface. ### Step 2: Fit New Seal Measure and cut the new seal to fit precisely. Press it into place along the full length, making sure it's seated properly with no gaps. ### Step 3: Test It's Watertight Run some water down the screen to check it's actually sealed. You want to see water running down inside, not escaping at the edges.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **While I'm there:** If your shower's got other niggles (wobbly screen, loose handle, dripping head), mention them when you book. I can sort multiple small jobs in one visit. **Screen moving when you touch it?** That might not be the seal - could be loose brackets or worn fixings. I'll check the whole screen is solid while I'm replacing the seal. **Older Exeter bathrooms?** Period properties sometimes have slightly wonky walls and floors which put more stress on seals. I'll fit it to cope with any movement or settling.
Frequently Asked Questions about Shower screen seal replace in Tiverton
How do I know if my shower seal needs replacing?
Water on the bathroom floor after showers is the big giveaway. Or if you look at the seal and it's black with mould, peeling away, or hard and brittle. Seals typically last 3-5 years before they need replacing - longer if you're lucky, shorter in a busy household.
Can you match the seal to my existing screen?
Usually yes. I'll check what type you need (straight seal, curved, magnetic, etc.) and what size. There are standard profiles that fit most screens. If it's something unusual, I'll source the right one.
Do I need to provide the new seal?
I can bring common seal types with me, or if you've already bought one that's fine too. If it's an unusual size or type, I might need to measure it first and source the right seal before fitting.
Will the new seal last as long as the original?
Should do, yeah. Quality seal material lasts years if you keep the shower reasonably clean. The original probably lasted fine until mould or wear got to it. Wipe down your seal occasionally and you'll get good life out of it.
My shower tray's flooding - is that the seal?
Could be, but if it's pooling water inside the shower rather than leaking outside, that's probably a blocked drain rather than the seal. Water escaping onto the bathroom floor = seal problem. Water not draining away = drain problem.
