Is your shower screen leaking near the hinge side? This video shows why the bottom seal may not be the real problem, and how a half-round threshold seal can help guide water back inside the shower area.
This solution is designed for shower screens where water escapes from the small gap beside the hinge, especially when the existing bottom seal does not fully cover that area.

Important fitting tips:
Clean and dry the surface before fitting.
Push the strip tight against the wall, leaving no gap at the end.
Peel back only a small section of the backing first, so you can line it up accurately.
Press firmly along the full length after fitting.
Wait 7–10 hours before using the shower, so the adhesive can bond properly.
Please check your shower screen structure, hinge clearance, glass position, and tray surface before ordering.
This guide is useful for hinge-side shower screen leaks, bath screen seal issues, bottom shower seal gaps, and shower threshold seal fitting where water escapes from the side of the screen.
