I have a shower stall with plastic walls that don't meet the floor. The walls seem straight, but it must have been cut crooked. I have up to a 1" gap between the wall and the shower floor. I have tried to caulk a couple of times, but it doesn't stick to the stall walls (I have tried to sand it but it still won't stick. Any suggestions? I am not worried about aesthetics, just functionality. Thank you.

I really am hoping there is some sort of tape type product out there for " gapes or wider. Thank you.
It's not a very good photo, but here it is (I hope I did it right).

No offense, but you got exactly what you wished for. In my opinion, that will always look like crap, and will retain moisture and mold. You need to either to cut in a new, waterproof piece, or tear it out and start over.
What exactly is the wall material?
if that's a fiberglass tub and souround its possible that you could get a tub repair co...to make it water tight....we work with a company that makes fiberglass repairs....just an option...good luck
Another suggestion for twenty some dollars you could buy a piece of FRP board which is 4'x8' and cut it to fit and then put it
right over the other board and then make sure you are all the way into the base. Re-seal it. Seen them at Home Depot. Cheaper
fix until you can afford the whole new surround kit.
