ProfessionalBathtub Caulking

Old, cracked, or mold-blackened caulk around a tub surround is more than cosmetic — it lets water behind the wall, where damage is invisible until it's extensive. We strip out every trace of the old caulk, let the surface dry, and apply a neat, smooth bead that bonds fully and won't peel within a season.

How it works

Strip and clean

We cut and pull out all the old caulk with a removal tool, then clean the joint with a mildew remover and let it dry thoroughly — damp surfaces won't hold a new seal.

Apply the new bead

We mask the joint lines, run a continuous bead of mildew-resistant caulk, and tool it smooth in one pass.

Finish and cure

We remove the tape, clean up any excess, and let you know the cure time (typically 24 hours) before the tub is used again.

Bathtub Caulking — FAQ

Why does my new caulk keep molding so fast?

Bathroom humidity is the main factor, but incomplete removal of old mold before recaulking lets spores survive under the new bead. We use mildew-resistant caulk and make sure the surface is truly clean first.

Should the tub corners be caulked or grouted?

Corners should always be caulked, not grouted. The tub moves slightly with weight and temperature changes — grout in a corner cracks quickly, while flexible caulk accommodates the movement.
