Shower cubicle sealant - Any tips?
I noticed the paint bubbling off the brick wall by the side of the shower cubicle and decided that, to stop any more leaks, I would re-seal my shower tray (I'm a first time DIY'er)
I bought Unibond Kitchen and Shower sealant and after 1 week I have been able to peel all of the (rubber-like) sealant off in one go, leaving me back at square one.
Surely this shouldn't happen??! I made sure all surfaces were dry and followed all instructions etc.
I checked all of the old joins and they have a hard type of sealant, feels a bit like tile grout. Am I being really dumb but I thought grout was for tiles, not shower trays?
Anyone any advice, or can recommend a better sealant? Don't want to pay the pro's if I can do it myself!

You virtually can do whatever you want applying it and the JML tool does the business. Concave is the best and the two spots I had to touch up was done by a wet finger. Hard to believe how easy it was. But make sure you clean surfaces .
