    Leaky shower drain
    Hello, what do I use to seal the drain in a stand up shower? Caulk? Silicone? Will I be able to use the shower the next day?

    Thank you

    Hi Brenda,

    Make very sure it's dry under the lip of the drain and force Silicon Jel under the lip all the way around. Wipe off the excess, do not step on the shower floor, let it set over night and rub-a-dub in style the next morning. Cheers, Tom
