How Do You Recaulk A Bathtub?
Does the caulk around your bathtub have ugly black marks? Or maybe it is actually loose in some sections, with little rubber strings hanging down. The black marks are mildew and the loose caulking allows water to get between your bathtub and the walls, creating the perfect environment for mold to grow. It’s time to recaulk your bathtub. Step 1 Assemble all the tools and materials you’ll need for the project. Step 2 Start by removing the old caulking. Cut the existing caulk along the edge of the bathtub and along the wall using the utility knife (or a razor blade), then pull it off. Step 3 Spread silicon caulk remover (available at any home center) on any caulk remnants and in the seam between the bathtub and the wall. Leave it for a couple of hours (follow the directions on the package). Step 4 Using the edge of your putty knife, remove any caulk remnants and dig out any buried in the seam. Since you applied the silicon caulk remover, it should pull out easily. Step 5 Clean the bathtub
