Do you not run a bead of silicone down the wall behind the aluminium bracket?

[@m4bj4v1d]

A comprehensive and straightforward tutorial demonstrating how to install a shower screen. It's put me in good stead for when I attempt my installation over the coming days.

[@eo8513]

Thank you for the tip to recess the screw insert. I've been nervous about this install. Have a good one!

[@markgriffiths7757]

Well presented, informative and clear video. Thanks a lot. Top tip on the silicon too!

[@anesu17]

Hey I watched this video yesterday and put my own bath screen this morning because of this video! Thank you.

[@raymanmufasa]

Quality video... very informative!

This is brilliant!! Mate I've not long ago subscribed to your West Ham channel, and here you show up on my search fitting a shower screen. A true renaissance man! Love how the font colour is West Hams' blue.

[@x837cue]

Very informative, thank you! I just received my shower screen but it's installation instructions aren't very helpful so this video helped quite a bit!

[@Realfightclubuk]

Thanks for this video just done exactly the same job and went great didn’t have clue. Wide watching

[@perwez62]

Thanks this is a very good video I've ordered my bath screen so I'm going to give it a go, hopefully it'll go well

[@rosschambers1987]

Thanks for informative video. Will be tackling this this weekend.

0. Make sure the shower tray is truly levelled. 1. perhaps before when you mark the drill holes and when you drill holes, put a little masking tape - that way the diamond bit will not slip when you are drilling in and damage the tiles. 2. Best practice to get second person to hold hoover so that you can hold the drilling machine in case it slips off your hand and damages customer's tiles or worse you drop off on the shower tray and cause more damage. (I am glad you mention this in the video), really good tips on bottom silicon sealing. Good tip again on putting down floor protective to not damage anything. May be best to buy shower tray of this type which comes with pre-built hole for fitting the end of the glass unit than you drilling the whole which voids the warranty of the tray. Good video overall not bad at all.

I want to fit a folding door to my bath/shower its a new build and a plasterboard wall how to I fit the door in the same way as in your vid?

[@paulvear1]

Hi I have a 12mm glass screens which are 15 years old. Originally they were set on top of some plastic seals that prevent water escaping under the glass. IS THAT NO LONGER THE CASE? I’ve removed panels and repealed tray etc, should I LEAVE OUT THE PLASTIC SEALS AND SET GLASS DIRECTLY TO THE TRAY? Is this the new standard?

[@arsenal1930]

Cheers fella, many thanks

[@jaysenb]

One of my favourite diy videos

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

nice vid man, I liked and subbed, very good, nice and easy to follow !

[@adlymuhtadi7072]

Hi, great video! Quick question..... When you screw the wall profile to the wall do you find that the bottom of the profile which meets the silicone can stick out a little which means that it's not completely flush to the wall? If that's the case how do you rectify that?

[@akashshah1907]

Very nice tutorial and informative. Thank you

[@stevewithers5269]

Great video. Why does the bracket need to be 10mm in from edge of shower tray?

[@nagmasoma6112]

Hi, I ve bought a shower screen and shower tray which is 1200x800 do u think the tray is not long enough and water will fall on the floor?

[@fishandreptileinfo]

Good tip about adding silicon onto the screw hole.

[@debrapattman1721]

How would i fit one of these with wet room flooring? The flooring comes up the wall about a few inches.

[@peterk7377]

I'm getting water leaking through the c channel out of the shower. Leaking between the wall fixing and the glass panel. Can I silicon along the c channel and glass panel?

[@markburton337]

Good vid, Exact the same as my bathroom, & same situation, notice you started screen then half way through completed sink. Then went back to complete the screen, will use that same order.. nice tips,. Thanks..

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

No worries Mark. Good luck with it mate.

[@frankiepitt9135]

Always make sure the plug is fully behind the tile not just below the surface to prevent cracking the tile.

[@58musiclova]

Does the water from the screen not sit on shower ray ledge and end up running down ledge onto floor. I thought the screen ti sit on inside ledge of shower tray

[@TheTheshucuz]

Ain't nothing like a good chewtorial

[@robmoffatt1688]

Great job. Would it have been possible to turn the channel upside down so the pilot holes would be on the exterior of the shower for fixing and putting screw covers on, therefore leaving the wet side of the channel free of any extra holes/obstacles to aid in waterproofing and cleaning?? Just a thought.

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

You can Robert but that was an Eastbrook screen and if there had been any problems it would have invalidated the warranty. The instructions specify the screws being on the inside and only one silicone bead on the outside of the screen. I know what you mean though

[@jesshothersall]

Not only that, but they'd be easier to reach as well!

Agreed. Refreshing change to watch a quality tutorial by a true professional. No need for annoying head banging "music" or cheap cringeworthy comedy, just a useful demonstration.

It is fantastic tutorials

Any chance you can show us how to remove a single glass panel for a Walk in shower?

[@NoraDesmond897]

This may be a bit of a stretch but i live in a rental and I am trying to create a temporary shower screen for my tub that uses two shower curtains. One goes across the length the other across the width. (L-shaped) Is there any material that can be used temporarily instead of glass and that I could attach and remove when I move out? (my idea was treated wood strips for wall and tub surround with plexiglass or sailboat window material)?

[@NoraDesmond897]

I could also use shower curtain rings to keep it stable at the top with the curtain rod.

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

Not really Denise but there is nothing wrong with leaving a shower curtain on a rail in place for when the next person moves in. One neat curtain hanging from a rail running the length of the bath will do the job.

[@davidk6271]

Is this for dry walls mate or solid plaster and Brick?

[@rajdeeproy9094]

What is the type of glass used?

[@cufflinks5736]

Very clear

[@mikemaman1]

Last 3 hours should be located on the outside of the shower. That first channel is reversible 😉

[@thanehouse1232]

Do you know who manufacturer the shower screen you are installing? It seem to be very unique, having a bottom channel - everytning I now see only uses silicon.

[@denisemills9888]

What if there is no shower tray? I'm trying to replace a shower screen that's just been put straight onto the floor. Is the info the same?

[@BikerAU]

Very informative and professional - if the tiles are on gyprock - should you use a toggle screw or is the wall plug still ok?

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

Phil McKendry the extrusion should be lined up with a wall stud so you're securing into timber.

[@petemc5070]

Toggles work fine - rock solid in tiled plasterboard.

[@wizard-of-other-oz]

@@hireahubbypakenham407 may you please re-think your suggestion? Studs are installed long before the shower screen. A stud could just be not there. Sh*t happens.

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

@@wizard-of-other-oz it may not be, but it should be as the house plans are drawn with the studs in place to support the screen for the planned shower.

[@richardplant6703]

Hi, great video. I am sealing my shower screen later today. Can you clear up why you only seal the outside and not on the inside? I would have thought that you would want to seal the inside especially due to the shower water??

[@JoeAverage2006]

It's so that if any water gets in there, it can drain out into the shower tray

[@blagger42]

Just a question how long would such a job take? Again what length screws would they also need to be stainless?

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

Hello Alec, if it's your first time allow yourself over an hour.

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

Pan head stainless screws are the go.

[@scottishjimmy9813]

What size drill bit did you use? What's behind the tile-plasterboard or solid wall or stud?

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

If I remember correctly that was a solid wall Jimmy. 6-8mm plugs I'd imagine but can't recall what was supplied. I usually replace the boxed screws with a PZ2 version anyway

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

If it's not a solid wall it should have a stud set up to secure into.

[@sallyjohnson5985]

I will have to get a professional to install ours but now I’ll have to make sure they’re not taking any short cuts!

[@michaelnewton9341]

No sealant at the bottom of the shower screen??

[@Orion74205]

What do you with the bottom edge of the screen? I'm looking to install a screen in a very similar manner soon, mine will have an over head t bar. But there is no mention of what do on the bottom edge in contact with the shower tray.

[@jesshothersall]

I wondered that too. The screen we've bought has a rubber seal along the bottom edge of ours, he didn't mention it, but without using a rubber seal or silicone sealant surely the water will seep through? How can it not? I'd have thought silicone here would be more important than in the rawlplugs, as the water is pointing away from them, and will definitely be splashing down at the bottom

[@lemonbade]

Why is glass used rather than plastic or Perspex? Surely that would be safer?

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

A few tips from another professional. Get a 6mm round diamond bit for the tile drilling, much better than the spear tip ones. As well as the silicone into the screw holes, run a bead along the extrusion where it meets the wall. Instead of drilling the shower base, use Polyurethane or a flexible polymer adhesive like Tek7. If the shower tray has an upturn behind the tiles, don't silicone between the base and bottom of tiles. The water that seeps through the grout and behind the tiles can't run into the tray otherwise.

[@spoonz1065]

Will tec7 really hold that bracket down rather than screwing into mu 600£ shower tray?

[@hireahubbypakenham407]

@@spoonz1065 yep.

[@jesshothersall]

I was told to put masking tape onto the tiles first, then pencil onto the tape, to stop the drill bit potentially sliding off the pencil mark, that worked well for me when I drilled for the shower head holder. Maybe professionals don't need that extra, but it's good for diy'ers like me?

[@jimbo1706]

Always a good idea when using drilling or cutting devices on surfaces with a delicate outer laminate... Glass on tiles, pvc on wardrobes shelves kitchens etc Easier to see it too

Do you not need to use any sealant on the bottom of the panels?. I assumed there would be some kind of rubber at the bottoms but there isn't 🤷‍♂️
