How to replace silicone caulk?

Hi all!

 

I have no idea what this sealant is ... it's got a plastic like feel to it, so I'm guessing it's not a plaster type filler.  Is it a silicone caulk?  The mould is ingrained so it needs replacing.  How do I remove it?  And what do I replace it with?  Thanks!

 

Cheers 🤗

Re: Replacing the filler behind bathroom basin

That would be silicone caulk @Tyro

 

You can remove it using a silicone remover tool and replace it using a caulking gun and a white wet-area silicone caulk. Here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to apply silicone sealant.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
