When you take a shower, you probably want to get yourself wet, not your entire bathroom. However, if you find that you often have water leaks from the shower going all over the floor or elsewhere in the bathroom, you could be wondering what to do. Luckily, these tips can help.

1. Install a Shower Door

For one thing, many people who still rely on shower curtains find that they often have to deal with shower leaks. This is because the water can get out of the shower a lot more easily with a shower curtain. Plus, along with helping to prevent water from getting all over the bathroom, installing a shower door can be a good way to make your shower look more modern and can make clean-up a whole lot easier since you won't have to worry about the hassle of cleaning a shower curtain. Instead, you can just wipe your shower door down with glass cleaner.

2. Caulk Your Shower Door

Around your shower door, it is a good idea to use a rubber caulk that is designed for this purpose. The point of this is to help prevent any gaps or holes from which water can flow from the shower to the rest of your bathroom. When you have your shower door professionally installed, your installers should take care of this. However, after you have had your shower door for a while, you may need to go in and do it again periodically to help prevent leaks from popping up.

3. Check the Rubber Seals

There should be rubber seals along the edge of your shower door. These are put in place to help prevent water from leaking out. They should last for quite some time, but as your shower door gets older, you can expect for them to begin to wear out. You can purchase replacement seals from a home improvement store and put them in yourself, but many people find that it's better to hire a shower door installer to do this for them. Then, you can ensure that you use the right type of seals and that they are put in properly.

Dealing with shower leaks can be a big pain, and it can cause mold growth and property damage if you aren't careful, along with a slippery bathroom that could cause slips and falls. If you follow these tips, however, you can help prevent water leaks from your shower.
