How to solve leak in bath screen hinge?

[Allgoode]

Hi again.

Several ways to fix but screen should definitely be removed first & see if bath corner pops up the 2 - 3mm.

I always support around the bath at wall edges with battening in addition to the bath mounting frame as shown in yours pics.

Bulge may be the wood support as fitted or the screen could be pressing down on bath corner edge.

Screen needs to come off first, end of story. Then re-assess & move forwards.

Bath / shower walling always hardi backer board or aquapanel, never had a prob but I always seal any joining edges & use specialised solution as well.

I don't use plasterboard but have stripped out quite a few developers bathrooms/showers after only a couple of years due to material failure & poor workmanship, enough said. (Fitters paid on job rate with developer supplying materials)

Thanks,

Andy

Thank you for all the input.

A question about installation:

Our bath is 3-4mm acrylic, and is held up on legs with a double seal at the wall. No timber battens, no brackets. The fitter assures us this is secure and enough support. Is this normal practice? I notice a few people on this forum use either timber or brackets.

With the dipping and distortion of the bath, I'm going to politely but strongly request extra reinforcements for the safety of using the bath. Are the fitter and contractor obliged to comply with my requests?

Thanks in advance.
