How to fix water leaking from newly renovated frameless shower door?
Hey guys,
Finger crossing that we have a solution for this.
I just got a professional to do my bathroom. The finishing is really good and today was the first day I had a shower (approx. 10 minutes) and found few things, which made me worry. He is coming tomorrow to have a look.
1. When I finished the shower, I saw a lot of water coming out of the frame and stagnant indicated on the green below.
Upon close inspection I saw that door is not completely shut on vertical part of the frame door ( he is coming tomorrow to inspect, hopefully fixable). The vertical movable part of the showerhas rubber along the vertical end. And, on the floor, there is a metal part (indicated in Red), which I think is not blocking the water.
To my understanding, the rubber part on the vertical edges and metal part on the floor should work to help the water fall inside the Shower Screen. Correct me if I am wrong.
2. Is this how frameless shower screen works ? Is there any solution to fix this and hoping he will have some solution too. It is not always possible to shower facing towards the wall or away from the shower door.
3. If the water is outside, shouldn't the water be flowing quickly through the outside drain like the drain inside the shower screen ? Should the outside drain be getting rid of the water splashed outside the bath or vanity ( for any reason). Isn't its purpose same as the drain inside the shower screen, quick drain.
Thanks a lot for reading and suggestions.

Re: Water leaking from newly renovated Frameless shower door
Hi @Sugar
You will have to check with your local authority as per @MitchellMc comments. But I would expect that as there hasn't been any internal wall alterations to the plumbing and only an exchange of fittings that a compliance certificate is not required even at request. There usually is a fee for plumbing and electrical compliance certificates passed on by the plumber from the forms they submit.
