How do I remove a glass shower screen
My shower screen is fitted onto the tiles with an unusual fitting. It looks like a stainless steel disc on a rubber pad with 4 holes in it. I can send a pic if that is possible!

Hi it has a grub screw to hold in place it's normally an Allen key fitting
It sounds like your shower screen is secured with stand-off brackets—a stainless steel disc with a rubber pad and four holes.
Key Points:
• Disc with Rubber Pad: The rubber pad protects and holds the glass in place, while the steel disc secures it.
• 4-Hole Design: These holes are likely for screws that attach the bracket to the wall.
Tips:
1. Tighten If Needed: Use an Allen key or screwdriver if the screen feels loose.
2. Check the Rubber Pad: Replace it if it shows signs of wear to keep the glass secure.

To remove a shower screen with that type of fitting, here’s a general approach that should help:
1. Examine the Fittings: It sounds like the screen is held by stainless steel brackets with rubber pads for stability. Check the four holes on the disc; these likely conceal screws that hold the bracket in place.
2. Remove the Screws: Use the appropriate screwdriver (likely a Phillips or flathead) to remove the screws in the bracket holes. Be careful, as the glass screen may start to loosen as you remove the last screws.
3. Gently Release the Glass: With the screws removed, the glass screen should come free from the brackets. Use caution and possibly enlist help, as glass can be heavy and tricky to handle.
4. Loosen Rubber Pads (if needed): If the glass doesn’t come loose right away, the rubber pads may have slightly bonded to the tiles or glass. Gently wiggle the screen to release it, but avoid excessive force.
