Frameless Shower Screen Leaking at Bottom — Causes, Fixes & Cost in KL
Water leaks from the bottom of the shower screen onto the floor.
Estimated professional fix: RM180–RM750+ depending on seal replacement
Water pooling outside a frameless shower screen is almost always a seal or level problem, not a broken screen. The bottom wipe seal wears flat, silicone joints let go, or the screen was pitched slightly the wrong way so water runs outward instead of back to the drain.
Common causes
Professional solutions
Safe DIY checks first
- 1Check the bottom seal for flattening, cracks, or gaps at the ends
- 2Run a slow shower and watch exactly where water escapes first
- 3Test whether the floor tile falls toward the drain or away from it
- 4Inspect the silicone corners for peeling or black mould
When to call a pro
What affects the cost
A bottom-seal and silicone refresh is the common fix and sits at the lower end of the RM180–RM750 band. If the tray pitch is wrong, we may need to re-level the screen or add a threshold strip, which adds cost. We confirm after measuring the screen and checking the slope.
