- Peeling or separated silicone
- Split corner joints
- Persistent discolouration
- Gaps around screens or fittings

FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about silicone replacement.
What areas of a shower need silicone?
Flexible sealant is commonly used at changes of plane and selected junctions, such as wall-to-floor corners and around screens or fittings. The exact joints depend on construction.
Can silicone be applied over existing silicone?
A sound result generally depends on removing failed material and preparing the joint. Applying new sealant over deteriorated silicone can hide rather than correct the problem.
