What sort of trade person will fix this issue?

Hi all,

My glass bath shower screen is leaking and the sealant at the bottom needs taking off and replacing too. Is this something a plumber could do, or more for a bathroom fitter type person?

TIA!

Try a local handyman.

A plumber would certainly do it but a local handyman would be ideal as the previous poster says.

There will be a You-Tube video that shows you what to do. Screwfix will sell you everything you need, removing old silicone is a bit fiddly, the surface needs to be clean and dry before you put the new sealant on, then it takes quite a long time to cure. There are quick curing sealants ( a few hours) but I've never used them.

A handyman but honestly (and I say this as someone who probably has singlehandedly put my local builders children through private school), you could do this yourself in half an hour with about a tenners worth of stuff

I agree with go for doing it yourself! It is an easy thing to learn.

DIY option, we regularly change them when they become manky and hard to clean. Soften the seal first in warm water.

Thanks all! I actually have a long list for a handyman so will just add this on!
