Default Silicone not bonding

Hi guys I recently had a shower tray installed (Bathstore, low profile,
plastic I presume) and had new tiles fitted round about it.
The floor it all sits on was particle board.
On top of this was some sheet ply and underfloor heating insulation boards
The under floor heating element and then the floor tiles.
The shower tray has been sealed with silicone round the outside but it only
seems to bond for a few weeks and then seems to peel off the try at certain
points.

I think maybe either the tray moves slightly when in the shower or the tiles
move slightly and it is enough to break the bond of the silicone.

Is there anything I can use or trick to make the silicone stay bonded?

Thanks.


Try a product that sticks and seals. I think No Nails do a combination
product. It's intended for sticking stuff in wet environments. Worked
quite well sticking quadrant tiles around our bath.
