To remove sealant from around basins, baths and even windows, click on the tools at the bottom to get through to the tool store to buy sealant remover, applicator gun and new sealants for bath or shower.
Removing sealant is a fiddley job, make sure you get it all off before attempting to apply new. Applying new sealant over the top of old, leaking sealant never works as the adhesion of the existing sealant to the bath or shower, and tiles, is what counts. It does not matter how much sealant you apply over the top, if the existing sealant is leaking then the odds are that it still will. See our project on leaking showers and baths also as the fact that the sealant has split means that your bath or shower may need some adjustment to stop it moving.
Silicone Eater
Simply place in a mastic gun, cut off the top and squeeze. The mastic gun, or sealant applicator, is below. Some sealant removers do not need applicator guns.

You might be interested to check out our video section on bathroom repairs to watch a film about "fixing a hole in the bathroom wall". In our video section on sealing there are a couple of films that give a practical demonstration on "applying caulk around a bathtub" and "how to replace caulk on a bathtub".
