Hi
I need to reseal around our bath as the sealant has lifted from the bath in a couple of places. The bath is mainly used for showering. There seems to be a lot of play in the bath when getting in and this has caused the sealant to lift. I can't see how it's possible to do anything with this issue without ripping the bath out which will cause a lot of damage.
Anyway, the walls around the bath are fully tiled and there is also silicone, rather than grout, in the corners where the walls meet, from bath to ceiling height. Presumably this was done to prevent grout cracking in the corners.
The silicone in the corners is almost as good as new so my question is, can I remove and replace just the sealant round the bath and "join" this to the corner silicone and how would be best to do this ? Should I remove some of the corner sealant so that the old and new aren't meeting right in the corner of the bath where water will likely gather ? Or any other suggestions - hopefully other than re-doing the whole lot
Thanks
