How to replace plastic seal in shower frame?

Hi everyone - this piece of plastic has come out of the bottom of my shower frame below the shower door. It's in poor condition and very dirty and I'd like to replace it rather than reinstall it.  Does anyone know what it's for and what would be suitable to use as a replacement?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @ewb 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your shower seal.

 

Having made a thorough search, I'm sorry but there are no compatible seals in that particular profile. My only other suggestion is to replace it with a similarly shaped sealer. 

 

I recommend bringing the door seal with you to the store and having a look at the Moroday Rubber products. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, it might be possible to find a similarly shaped rubber seal. In the meantime, if you've not found a compatible seal, I suggest keeping your old seal until a suitable replacement can be found.    

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi ewb, May I ask why you ended up doing it finally since I have the same issue and not able to find anything suitable and it leaks because of the gap between the door and base seal as it seems the rubber seal not in contact with each other. It is poor design and would have preferred something like door closing inside a frame.

Hi @rsv, 

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

 

Please allow me to tag @ewb so they are notified of your question.

 

Without seeing the actual issue, it is hard to give you a good fix, but these shower seals might prove useful.

 

If you could upload an image of the issue, I'd be happy to assist further.

 

Let me know if you need a hand with this or if you have any other questions.

I finally found something the part.  After lots of scrolling and endless Google searches.  This is the part.  I’m sure you can find it somewhere in NSW but this was the best I could find.  Shipping is a bit steep but I was desperate to find the part.  And they were very helpful.  They even offered to send me a small sample of the part to make sure it fits before I committed to buying.
