I re did this shower tray in August last year and I am getting slow drips at the tray corners where the tray comes out from the wall.
As you can see it has upstand and I tile onto the tray leaving a gap of 2-3mm. Initially I grouted this joint but then removed as much grout as possible and used silicone. But the grout removal was bound not be to 100%.
I sealed the enclosure frame (the extrusion which screws to the wall) on both sides but the enclosure only on the outside as per Roman's (manufacturer's) advice.

I can either:
1. Add more silicone to the bead already there, but will it form a good seal?
2. Remove tile and silicone and redo and try to increase the gap between the tiles and the tray to 4mm and then add silicone to seal.
I have seen classi seal which goes on the outer face of the tray and seals with the wall before tiling over it but this maybe for trays with no upstand?
What is the best way to remove old silicone, I tried Geocell Silicone remover which was ok and also blunt screwdriver etc?
Thanks for advice.
