Water pooling on shower screen rim
🏠 homeproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A user reports that water consistently pools on the flat rim where their shower screen meets the tray, leading to limescale buildup and water marks because the water does not drain back into the tray.
What people do today
- Wiping the rim dry after every shower
- Applying hydrophobic coatings to the rim
- Attempting to reseal the screen base
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A universal, retrofittable silicone drip-deflector strip that attaches to the bottom of existing shower screen rails to redirect water inward.
- A specialized squeegee tool designed with a specific angle to fit into narrow shower screen rim gaps for quick water removal.
- A guide or database for homeowners comparing shower screen rail designs based on their ability to prevent water pooling on tray rims.

“I keep finding water sitting on the flat rim/upstand where the two meet, rather than draining back into the tray.”
