Recaulk a Bathtub

⏱️2 hrs + drying💰$15–25🟢Beginner4.6 (287 reviews)

Remove old, moldy caulk and apply a clean bead that lasts years — not months.

Remove old caulk

Use a caulk remover tool or utility knife to cut and peel out all old caulk. This takes patience.

Clean and dry thoroughly

Spray with mold-killing cleaner, wipe clean, then wait 24 hours for full drying.

Apply new caulk

Cut the tip at 45°, apply steady pressure in one continuous bead along the joint.

Smooth and cure

Dip a finger in water and run along the bead. Do not use the tub for 24 hours.
