    Sealing a bath/shower door edge
    We recently had a new bathroom installed and we now have a 'P-Shaped' Shower/Bath. I have just fitted the curved glass shower door, where the chrome profile fitted to the wall is exactly vertical and the distance from the top edge of the bath to the bottom of the glass door is 9.5mm as required, this is where the chrome profile meets the bath top. It seems that the horizontal plane of the baths length is not exactly true (by approximately 3-4mm.) and over a short distance the gap reduces to approximately half the 9.5mm required and the plastic seal which is to be fitted will not easily fit to seal the bath at this narrower part. As pressure is applied, when pivoting the door onto the bath edge to form a seal, the plastic seal breaks at this end. I cannot adjust the bath in any way due to tiles having been fitted. Is there any other kind of seal which I can purchase to form a seal along the bath edge and is flexible enough to seal the varied distance?
