Good Morning All,
I have used this forum for years for advice etc, but just now have become a member. Am hopeful someone will have some advice for me.
Our bathroom has a leak from the shower. Its a corner stall shower with aluminum extrusion frame and glass panels. From the looks of it, we have multiple leaks, mostly where the frame is sealed to the tiled curb, but also where the "plastic" seals are between the aluminum and the glass.
We are not in the position financially to redo the bathroom right now. By March we will have the funds to completely redo the bathroom and get rid of this god forsaken corner shower. (I'm 6'1 and 280lbs, and am sick and tired of bumping into walls turning around) It is badly configured, and based on materials was "redone" in the late 80's (1967 built home). The layout is poor and not user friendly.
Need some advice as the best method for sealing the leaking areas to hold things off for a few months. This is the first bathroom I have ever had that used these aluminum frame glass panels and doors, so I don't know much about them, what caulk product will stick to them etc. We have another bathroom we can use for a few days to let this one dry out for temporary leak fixing, but will need to use this one after that. Even considered removing the glass panels entirely and finding a 90 degree curved rod and shower curtain to use for now. Don't want to throw a whole lot of money at the temporary fix, as we would rather save that money for the full renovation.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
