Here is a step by step guide on how to reseal a shower tray properly to prevent leaks and mould.

1. Remove the old sealant using a sealant remover tool or sharp scraper.
2. Clean the area thoroughly with bathroom cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
3. Apply masking tape along both edges of the joint and leave a small gap for the silicone line.
4. Apply new silicone sealant by cutting the nozzle at a 45 degree angle and applying a smooth, continuous bead along the joint.
5. Smooth the seal with a sealant finishing tool or a wet finger, remove masking tape straight after smoothing.
6. Allow to cure as per manufacturer instructions and do not use the shower during curing.
