A couple of years ago I had a plumber install a new shower for me. Because he was pushed for time and I really needed the job doing he suggested that I seal it once he was finished.
I got some silicone sealant and squirted liberal amounts around where the shower tray joins the tiled wall. At first I was still getting leaks so I just used more sealant. That eventually stopped it leaking.
the trouble is that the finished job looked very ugly with lots of sealant visible and over the course of time the sealant has become very soft and is now coming away in places.
I plan to remove the old sealant and do it again - but this time I want to do a better job! So what is the best product for this - are all silicone based sealants pretty much the same? And what is the way to stop the sealant going soggy? I was wondering if the best technique is to use as little as practically possible?
Any information and tips gratefully received!
