Bathroom sealant

Any recommendations for a plumber / trade to replace and renew  sealant on a shower (Welling area) ?

Here’s my attempt at it, it’s not that hard, especially if you have the right tools.

Agree with G here, I was always terrible at it. Bough the right tools plus a water spray gun and now looks decent.

It's really easy, buy one of these:

Make sure it's clean and dry before applying. Also always fill the bath before you do (but looks like just a shower).

My tip is to dip your finger (or finishing tool) in a 50 / 50 mix of warm water and fairy liquid before using said finger to get a clean finish. Stops it from sticking to your finger and coming away
