Oh, the haha is not mocking, I just thought it might be from me... ;)

Hihi, well the door is too long for the shower enclosure. That's why there's the kink.

I don't know much about these things, but the front bottom corner should still be somewhat covered by the glass doors, right? Wouldn't that then match the dimension, for example 90/90, so that the doors could actually be aligned flush? what is stopping the doors from reaching the outer corner? Do they stop at the basin edge at the bottom?

That's right, I suspect that only one side is too long (or the other one is too short). Because of that, it just can't make the "end" and that's why he said now it has to be folded. But it's also hard to recognize with the perspective. what happens if you straighten them, where do the doors end respectively and how do they stand in relation to each other?

But it's also difficult to see with the perspective. what happens if you set them straight, where do the doors end respectively and how do they stand in relation to each other?

If the doors are set straight, a "gap" forms in the front corner like in the second picture. The person who installed it says that he can make the shower enclosure at a right angle, but he claims that water could run out while showering and he wouldn't take responsibility for that. That means you would have to pull the door in each time you want to shower.

That doesn't seem to be a square measurement either, the tub.

When the doors are standing straight, a "gap" forms in the front corner like in the second picture.
The person who installed it says he can make the shower enclosure right-angled, but he claims that water could leak out when showering and that he wouldn't take responsibility for that.

He should actually install longer hinges on the tiles for the doors that compensate for the centimeters.
Or he should have ordered it made to measure.

Yes, according to him I believe the problem is not to make the doors look the way we want them (that is, without a bend when closing), but that they would somehow be less tight there than with a bend. That’s why we are in a dilemma and don’t know whether we should leave it as it is or have him change it (although the warranty would then lapse).
