Shrinking silicone

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.52 PM

Hi there I have applied silicone around my kitchen sink, it was a clean dry surface but the silicone has shrunk which mean water can get under the seal. Is there any tips on what to do? Do I need to take it off or can go over it? Many thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

there are a lot of CHEAP silicones on the market and like building jobs the CHEAP option is always the more costlier lucky this is only a small job ,get a decent silicone 7-10 pounds per tube

Hi there, As substructure said, get a decent silicone BUT remove old silicone first before applying new, hope this helps.
