Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the edges of the glass where the seal was and remove any mineral deposits and mildew from the glass.

Most shower doors have two different types of seals on them, one called a lip or bumper seal, which is installed on the vertical edges and seals against the other glass panels or walls of the shower, and a second drip seal which is installed along the bottom edge of the door and directs the water running down the door onto the shower floor and seals between the door and the floor of the shower. This is quite a cheap and easy problem to fix and shouldn’t take you more than half an hour if you’ve got the right replacement seal strips. You may even just want to replace your seals because they’re looking old or are covered in mildew, which can be difficult to clean off. The seal plastic slowly becomes discoloured and brittle and doesn’t seal as well as it used to. You’ll probably need to replace your shower door seals every few years to prevent puddles of water forming on your bathroom floor.
