Is it possible, say, when you have a leak around a basin, bath or shower from a hole in the silicone. Can you apply a bit on top to cure leak? Or, do you need to renew the whole seal?

Silicone doesn't stick to silicone, remove and replace

Surely this is nonsense. The silicone molecules in the middle of a line of silicone which is at neither end, and therefore not spending it's time sticking to, say, a shower tray or row of tiles, must be spending it's time sticking to other silicone molecules.
Anything sticky must stick to itself as the very minimum on a list of what it sticks to. It is part of what it means to be sticky. I'm aware I made my point moments ago but cannot seem to stop saying the words sticky or sticking.
