Leaky showers can sometimes be fixed by changing your shower door sweep

A shower door sweep is the piece of rubber like material that goes under the shower door between the floor and door. It creates essentially a waterproof seal between the door and bathroom floor or shower sill. If you are finding a lot of water on the floor near your shower door then it is likely that you may require a sweep for your door.

Sweeps are generally made of rubber and are sold by the foot. Expect to pay about one to two dollars per foot of sweep material. Sweeps are generally between one half to one and a half inches tall. If you are buying a new shower door check out the sweep that comes with it. It may be worth the extra effort to pick up at least one spare just in case you have a hard time replacing it when it wears out. When replacing the sweep, you should be able to slide the old one out and replace it with the new one by sliding the new one into place. Please read the manufactures directions if you are having problems.

Not all sweeps fit all door. Before ordering make sure you know the type of sweep that fits your door. The merchants below all sell shower door sweeps. Make sure you know the length of sweep you need prior to ordering.
