Got a frameless shower door, which has openings on the hinge side and bottom.

Bottom: I attached a bottom sweep to the door, the bottom sweeps (silicone flap) width is more than the clearance of the door (from the floor). Pruning the sweep down in itself is challenging as I found it impossible to get a straight cut. So even that hack was a bit of a waste.

I think I will probably silicone down a (half cut?) PVC pipe of about 10 mmm to dam the bottom. As of now I have stuck weather strips, which are of no use to dam the water.

The other challenge is the side. What can I do to cover up the sides?

Side: I have installed two door sweeps on either side (which keep falling off because one sides sweep, sweeps the other side away) but there is gap on the bottom that seems impossible to fill. As of now there's some blue tack/Sticky Tack.

Any suggestions on how I could seal the doors bottom and side please?

frameless (threshold-less) doors aren't meant to do that.

if you need this replace it with a framed door, or slope the floor towards the drain
