Not sure if this is the kind of question to be asking in here but here goes anyway.

My mum and dad are currently in the middle of doing an extension.

Recently, my dad (who's doing the majority of work himself) had fitted a shower tray, cemented it in, then had the floor tiled around it. After he had the walls tiled he put the doors on.

It's a corner shower shape and the doors/frame are the same. The problem is that the bottom of the frame of the doors doesn't touch the tray - there's a gap you can fit your hand in.

The doors are held up by brackets that are fixed to the wall, so that when you try to pull the frame down to meet the tray it sits about 2 inches away form the wall. After going into the place he bought it earlier today my dad says that they're not interested (even though they'd supplied the wrong tray and there are no doors to go wth the one we have)

I want to ask, what could we use to 'pack up' the gap? I was thinking a bit of rubber and put silicone either side of it or something similair. If anyone has any ideas please fire away.

And if that doesn't make sense (which I suspect) I can get pics if needed.

Normally the doors sit into a channel you fix to the wall mate, and will have an adjustment of an inch or so... if thats not the case take a photo mate and get it posted.

Get a square on it and check if the tray/wall or wall/floors are square etc.. although its a bit late if your fixed in..

Can the brackets not just be dropped & fixed 2" lower so it fits
