How do I replace a shower door seal?
Door seals prevent water from escaping through the gap between the glass and the tray or door edge. Over time, they harden, split, or lose their magnetic strength. Old seals can give a discoloured appearance, allow water to leak from between the glass and frame and stop the enclosure door from sealing magnetically.
To replace your shower door seal:
- Identify whether you need a vertical, bottom sweep, or magnetic seal.
- Gently pull the old seal away from the glass.
- Clean the glass thoroughly with soap and water and dry completely.
- If required, cut the new seal to the correct length using scissors or a fine-tooth saw.
- Slide or push the new seal onto the glass until fully seated.
- Close the door and ensure the seal compresses evenly without gaps.
Tip:
Do not use silicone to hold seals in place — it prevents removal and cleaning later.
