Water escaping from the bottom of the screen or from the junction between the screen and the wall
Silicone around the screen frame that has hardened, yellowed, cracked, or pulled away from the tile or wall
A screen that no longer sits flush against the wall or floor, leaving a visible gap
Hinges or rollers that are stiff, grinding, or no longer holding the screen in the correct position
Glass that is chipped, cracked, or showing significant hard water mineral build-up that cannot be removed
A screen that is leaking at the base or sides is most commonly a silicone failure rather than a screen failure. In many cases, resealing the shower screen restores the watertight seal without requiring replacement of the glass or frame.
Cost depends on the type of repair, the size of the screen, and the screen type (frameless, semi-frameless, or framed). A silicone reseal costs significantly less than a full shower screen replacement. VIP Shower Repairs provides a free written quote after inspecting the screen, so the cost is confirmed before any work begins. Call 0404 607 006 to book.
In most cases yes. A shower screen that is leaking at the base or sides is usually leaking through failed silicone rather than through the glass itself. Resealing the shower screen, which involves removing and replacing the silicone at all junctions, restores the watertight seal without replacing the glass or frame.
Shower screen resealing is typically completed within a few hours. The fresh silicone requires a curing period of 24 hours before the shower should be used again. We advise on the specific timeline at the quoting stage.
