Hi all,
From what I've been reading, this seems to be a somewhat classic scenario!
Basically, shower tray wasn't siliconed before the frame went in, so the water that made it into the frame rather than drain back into the tray, found the small gap between the tile and tray behind the frame and has caused a leak.
I've taken the frame out and want to reseal around the whole tray where it meets the tiles just to be safe, before refitting the frame.
However, the vertical silicone in the internal corners (where it's tiles making the corner) is perfect and doesn't need replacing. My question is, can I redo the horizontals around the tray and make an effective join with the vertical beads in the two corners? Or do I really need to scrape out the verticals as well and redo them to get a waterproof corner/join?
Cheers
