Leaking shower screen, dropped shower door or split seal? Handyy repairs, adjusts and improves shower screens, bath screens and enclosures with careful fitting, practical advice and a clean professional finish.
Helping homeowners across Corsham, Chippenham, Melksham, Bath, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Devizes and nearby Wiltshire areas.
Shower screens and enclosures take daily use. Over time, seals split, hinges loosen, doors drop, silicone fails and small leaks appear around the bath, tray or fixed glass panel. Handyy can inspect the issue, carry out practical repairs where possible, replace suitable seals and advise honestly when a new screen or enclosure would be the better long-term fix.
Bottom seals, vertical seals, magnetic strips and drip seals can wear, split, discolour or stop doing their job.
Hinged and pivot doors can drop, scrape the tray, fail to close or leave gaps where water escapes.
Not every leak is the seal. The cause may be silicone, wall movement, poor fitting, tray flex or water direction.
Send photos by WhatsApp. A few clear pictures are usually enough to understand the likely issue before arranging a visit.
Each issue has a different cause. Some problems need a simple seal replacement, some need adjustment, and some are signs that the original screen was poorly fitted or is now beyond sensible repair.
A leak at the bottom of a shower door is often caused by a worn bottom seal, missing drip fin, badly fitted seal, door alignment issue or water being directed straight at the opening.
Handyy can check whether the existing seal has failed, whether a replacement seal is available, and whether the door needs adjustment so the seal can work properly.
Bottom seals become brittle, yellowed, mouldy, split or loose over time. Once the flexible fin loses shape, water can escape under the screen even if the rest of the enclosure is in good condition.
Replacement depends on glass thickness, seal profile and clearance between the glass and tray or bath edge.
Magnetic seals can weaken, split, come loose or fail to meet properly if the door has dropped. Sometimes the seal is the problem; other times the door alignment is wrong.
Handyy can look at the magnetic closing strip, door position and hinge adjustment to see whether a new seal, adjustment or replacement part is the sensible route.
A dropped shower door may scrape the tray, hit the frame, fail to close or leave a gap at the seal. This can happen through hinge movement, loose fixings, worn parts or poor original installation.
Where possible, Handyy can adjust, tighten and realign the door. If the hinges or fixings are badly worn, you will be advised before further work.
If the glass is catching the shower tray or bath rim, it should be checked before the glass, hinge or tray surface is damaged.
This is usually an alignment issue or a sign that the door has moved. Handyy can assess the gap, hinge position, bottom seal and door swing.
Loose hinges can make the door feel heavy, unstable or out of line. On some screens, hinge screws loosen over time. On others, the wall fixing or glass clamp may be the real issue.
Handyy can check hinge fixings, wall connection and screen movement. If the fitting is unsafe, the options will be explained clearly.
Some shower screen leaks are not caused by the door seal at all. Failed silicone around a fixed panel, bath edge, tray or wall profile can allow water to escape behind the screen or down the side.
Where suitable, Handyy can remove failed silicone, clean the area and reseal using a professional sanitary silicone.
Sliding shower doors can become stiff, noisy or uneven when rollers wear, tracks become dirty, guides break or the door drops out of alignment.
Handyy can inspect the track, guides and rollers. Some parts are replaceable, but older enclosures may be more practical to replace if parts are no longer available.
Over-bath shower screens often leak because the screen is not sealing correctly to the bath, the bottom seal has failed, the screen angle is wrong or water is being sprayed directly at the hinge side.
Handyy can check the bath screen seal, hinge side, silicone line and screen position. If the existing bath screen is unsuitable, replacement can be discussed.
Some leaks and closing problems come from the original installation. The screen may be out of level, fixed into a poor surface, missing packers, incorrectly sealed or not suited to the tray or bath.
Handyy can inspect the installation and advise whether it can be improved, resealed, adjusted or whether a new screen would be a better long-term solution.

Shower door seals are not all the same. The correct replacement depends on glass thickness, shape, length, gap size and whether the seal is fitted to the bottom, side, hinge edge or magnetic closing edge.
Handyy can help with practical seal replacement where suitable. In some cases, a like-for-like seal can be sourced and fitted. In other cases, the original profile may be discontinued, the glass may have moved, or the screen may need adjustment before a new seal will work properly.
A repair is usually worth considering when the glass is sound, the main frame is secure and suitable parts or seals are available. The aim is to make the screen safe, usable and watertight where possible.
Worn seals, minor door adjustment, failed silicone, loose but accessible fixings and simple alignment issues are often worth looking at.
Rollers, hinges, magnetic strips, handles and specialist seals may need identifying and sourcing before repair is possible.
Cracked glass, badly corroded frames, unsafe fixings, discontinued parts or poor original installation may make replacement the better option.
If a repair is likely to be a waste of money, Handyy can point you towards a better replacement screen, enclosure or bespoke glass option.

The issue may be a seal, dropped door, failed silicone, poor fitting, worn hinge, roller problem or water direction issue.
Where sensible, Handyy repairs, adjusts, reseals or replaces suitable seals. If replacement is better, you will be told clearly.

Quick answers before you send your photos over.
Often, yes. A leaking shower screen may only need a new seal, adjustment, resealing or a small repair. However, if the screen is badly fitted, unsafe, corroded or has unavailable parts, replacement may be the better option.
In many cases, yes. The correct seal depends on the glass thickness, seal profile, door type and gap size. Photos of the existing seal and screen help identify whether a suitable replacement is likely.
Common causes include a worn bottom seal, missing drip strip, door misalignment, failed silicone, tray movement or water being directed at the opening. The cause needs to be checked before choosing the repair.
Sometimes. Hinged and pivot shower doors may be adjustable if the hinges and fixings are still sound. If the hinge is worn, damaged or unsafe, replacement parts or a new screen may be needed.
If the glass, hinges and frame are in good condition, a repair or seal replacement may be enough. If the enclosure is old, unsafe, badly fitted or parts are unavailable, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Yes, Handyy can look at over-bath shower screens, including leaking bottom seals, loose hinges, failed silicone and screens that no longer sit correctly on the bath edge.
