Definitely remove the old seal first0

Get silicone sealant remover from B&Q etc, but remove most of the sealant before applying the remover.
Use a reasonably sharp, plastic, non-scratch implement to remove the excess, then apply the remover to the traces left on shower tray and tiles.0 -
Thanks for all your replies, off to B&Q then.You can have God without religion!0

Might be worth posting on the DIY forum as well to see what they have to say:

If you are sealing around where the tray meets the wall always a good idea to get some small quadrant, cut it to length and seal that in with the new silicone sealant. Seal the gap first between the tray and the wall allow it to dry then place the quadrant and seal that in.
It allows a better run off for water and the two seals give additional protection.
PVC quadrant can be sourced at any Window or PVC supplier or good old b&q.0 -
