Caulk one side of shower?

Tar.Aldarion · 2024-07-11 17:46:22

I noticed I have a very small section of silicone moving away from the wall, is it possible to recaulk one side of the shower or do I need to remove all of it? I've never used this stuff but realise silicone won't bond to itself, but if its going corner to corner would it be all right, as I've heard of tradesmen doing that…

Or better to remove the whole thing, which is annoying for such a small patch, however it leaking again would be more annoying.
Do you need some sort of cleaning agent like methylated spirits/isopropyl alcohol even if the silicone comes away cleanly?
