Sealing a shower

    I had a leaking shower a few years back and the issue was that there was no sealant between the tray and the wall tiles behind the wall profiles. I removed the profiles and shower enclosure, resealed along the full length between tray and tiles, let it cure, re-attached the profiles and enclosure and sealed up the rest of the areas that needed it. It was a pain to say the least but needed doing. I recently noticed the sealant was getting a bit grotty so I did the same thing again. My thinking was that if I didn't remove the profiles and enclosure I would be running new silicone up against the old stuff under the wall profiles and my understanding is that new stuff won't bond to old. Any vids I've seen online no one does this unless under the profile was never sealed for some reason. So I'm guessing it's not necessary. Any tips? I don't fancy doing all that palaver again if not needed. Thanks
