My cleaner tells me its come off in a long elastic string, and I have cut
the loose bit off. How would one replace this. I'm not going to do it
myself as I'll make a hash of it but I would need to know so when somebody
is hired, I don't end up with a bodge. One supposes taking all the loos
stuff off is best, then cleaning the surfaces and doing it again is the
best plan. Its been OK for over 10 years so I cannot grumble.

A good clean to get rid of and mould inducing bugs.

Dig out the old.

Clean with something like Meths to ensure adhesion.

Apply masking tape


Use a smoothing tool like a"Fugenboy" and not a saliva wetted finger.
(although a soapy wet clean finger may be okay)

Yes, dig out the old.
Let dry.
Clean with meths.
Use decent silicone. Masking tape if you wish.
Do not stick finger in gob to smooth it out, soapy water could be okay, but
I doubts about introducing water to silicone.

Contents of gob or soap would trouble me more than water...

I resealed my bath about 8 years ago with decent silicone and as I described
above. After 8 years the silicone is still brilliant white. I used my
plastic tool to smooth the silicone, wife said it looked fine. My tool is in
the garage.

I thought it might be the cleaneing stuff that had made it come off to start
with.

Oh - and ensure he uses top quality Silicone and not Caulk or Bargain
stuff.
