Best sealant to seal shower sides.

sebastianj

Sealant at the sides of the shower seems to have come off causing leakage problems. I don't think it was sticking properly in the first place.
Any tips/ advice most appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation,

what is the shower base made from?

Mapei Mapesil or Dow Corning 785....Best on the market

Avoid buying DIY stuff from B&Q

Remove all old silicone, Sharp stanley then white spirits, Surfaces must be 100% clean and dry

Thanks 1984 and Andyhop,
The shower base is some kind of plastic.
Not sure where to get Maple Mapesil from though.

Do what Andy said.

You can get that sealant from screwfix (anyone can buy from screwfix)
