Depends how much is there, where the sealant is (ie just around the tray or up the sides & corner)?

But 2 hours should be more than enough time.

approx 8 weeks!!

such a varied answer for this one. depends what tools you are using, how much sealant there is, how competent you are

Half a day, 2 hours to remove with blade, 1 hour to use silicone remover for the film left, 1 hour to apply and tool

Dont be tempted to use cheap silicone, Dow Corning or Mapei Mapesil are the best on the market

Thanks all.

Dow Corning probably the best silicone in the world:D

Thanks for the recommendations. I just wish I could get a black shower tray and sealant for reasonable money - it would save a lot of bother as I could bleach it occasionally for hygene but the black marks that remain wouldn't matter. Sigh!
