Leak in shower tiles?

[alichambersUK]

Hi everybody, I have a shower and it looks like there is a leak somewhere (circled area).

I put a bit of blue tack on to see if water is tracking along the tiles.

It could be a slight gap between the shower unit and the tiles - how do I seal this?

Thank you 🙂

They’re usually screwed onto the fitting, but you should be able to back it off, dry it off, apply some silicone sealant and screw back up.

Is there an easy way to do this from the outside, because I dont think I can unscrew them?

If you can’t unscrew them, then maybe just a thin bead of clear silicone sealant all around the edge. If it’s behind the cover cap though, will just mask the problem and make it worse.

Apply some silicone caulk.
