Replacing old sealant around the bath

Problem:
I don't need a new bathroom suite or tiles but my bath surround is looking rather shabby. The sealant used to be white and now it's mildewed and breaking up in places. In fact I'm not sure how waterproof it is still. Is it difficult to replace?

Fix it with:
Sealant Cartridge Kitchen & Bathroom

You can do it:
Actually, it's very easy. Using a Polycell Sealant Kitchen & Bathroom cartridge in white will achieve a seamless waterproof seal between the bath and the tiling and allow for any slight movement of the bath when in use.First, cut and scrape away the old sealant using a sharp knife. Next, paint on Polycell Sealant Remover to soften any residual old sealant and make it easy to remove.Then, wipe off any remaining Sealant Remover with a wet cloth and allow to dry.

Now, fit a Polycell Sealant cartridge into a skeleton gun and slice the nozzle at a 450 angle to produce a thick enough bead to seal the gap. Starting in one corner of the bath and, pushing the cartridge nozzle forward, squeeze the gun trigger to start the flow to run a continuous bead along the bath to fill the gap.Finish off with a round-ended stick or similar tool and wipe away any excess with a damp cloth before it dries.

Tips:
Before starting any filling, it is a good idea to run a full bath to weight it down to its normal level when in use - this stops the sealant from being overstretched and pulling away from the bath rim or tiling. Leave the bath filled until the sealant is completely dry, normally in about six hours.

To achieve a smart straight line, use masking tape and remove it within five minutes of application to create a smooth edge.
