Remove and replace bathroom seal

Hi everyone,
Following a leak in the seal what's the best way of fully removing the seal and grout and making good around this bath? Especially at the foot of the bath where there's a bit more of a filled gap between the bath and the tiles than I realised. Plan is to redo the bathroom in a couple of years anyway so want to keep it simple and not spend too much money!

Clean it all off, wd40 or similar will help get rid of the sticky residue.
Most important, fill the bath full of water then apply this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dreetino-Adhesive-Sealant-Kitchen-Bathroom/dp/B08DCFVDBT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? adgrpid=104882480616&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxc6PBhCEARIsAH8Hff0QODVf6kWx-5nyHnVGFpC2iYM-hkBXH1Dca6dOGVvNekMgZFpRc9saAsSbEALw_wcB&hvadid=449326302657&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046153&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6000027749302038434&hvtargid=kwd-847462972789&hydadcr=18511_1725405&keywords=around+bath+seal&qid=1643440767&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQ0xERUFWQ1VNQVdSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzY3MTUwMjFZVUhHU0tRTElNUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzI4MjAzMzFQVVc3N0UxVEVaSyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=1 -
Thanks, I had seen stuff like that but wasn't sure how good it is. What about cleaning off the harder grout that was under the decorative tile bits?0

Hammer and chisel (gently) for the big bits, scraper and elbow grease for the little bits.0
