Can anyone tell me where I can get a walk in shower enclosure glass wall channel with about 50mm - 60mm of adjustment in it?
I hired a bathroom fitting company to gut and replace 4 bathrooms in a block of holiday flats. In one of the bathrooms they missed an extremely out of plumb wall. Their tiler tiled the wall, fitted the glass, then realised the wall was leaning back so much the glass wouldn't sit on the tray. Instead of telling me, they attempted to cover it up with a 20mm wall of white silicone between the glass and tray! I'm not sure how it hasn't fallen off as nearly the whole weight of the glass must be held by the wall channel.
All of the bathrooms were stripped out completely and they had a joiner & plasterer on the team, so it would have been quite easy to plumb the wall up before the tile backer and plasterboard was fixed in place.
If I can't find a wall channel with enough adjustment I was thinking of building a tiled pillar off the wall and then fixing the channel to that. The other thought I had was to cut into the tiles and inset the channel into the wall to gain a few mm.
I live about 250 miles from the site, so if I can't find an oversized channel it's going to be a lot of hassle bringing all my gear up to fix this. Getting them back in is not an option, their finish was shocking and I'm already having to redo all of the silicone work in the other bathrooms myself. I don't trust them not to make a mess of fixing this.
