Ours is starting to get a bit mouldy.
Is it an easy job to redo?

Best tip I had was to get the bulk off with a stanley knife, then clean up the remainder with white spirit.

not too bad

get bulk off with knife and buy Sealant Remover (magic magic stuff) for the stubborn bits. Work out how to use the gun thing on some spare wood etc first.

it's not quick to do but it's fairly easy - there are usually instructions on the sealant can I think. Would second the tip about using a stanley knife and white spirit, then when reapplying the sealant make sure your bath or basin is at least half full of water

One word of advice - when you buy the sealant, you get the choice of a cheap one that lasts a year or so, or an expensive one that lasts longer.

Buy the expensive one - I didn't and boy was it false economy. Needs doing again already!

Thanks for the tips. It will be a job for dh in the coming weeks.
