I find it easiest with a stanley knife blade, if it is a fibre glass bath you have to be careful of cutting into the bath itself.
It is better to take the blade out of the knife handle, push it into the sealant and holding it flat to the bath edge run it along.
Then do the same as you run it along the wall edge but twist the blade slightly into the wall as you run it along.
You must keep your fingers to the back edge of the blade and it can be held in paper if it is more comfortable.

With a carpenter's knife - just scrape some away then you should be able to peel it off in a long time with a little ease. You could just gum over the existing silicone if you're not fussed about the way it looks when finished, it won't do any harm just be a bit lumpy! Hope this helps!

Silicon remover gel from Homebase, B&Q etc. If it's a steel bath be very careful using a stanley blade as it can cause indelible black lines

I used to work with silicone rubber we used rubbing alcohol to loosen and break up the excess. When it is cured the alcohol helps lift it and then i is easier to remove good luck

scrap by hand, or ronseal do a tube of stuff that looks like silicone but actualyl disolves it. OK for steel and acylic baths.
