Re-caulk: the $200 Miracle
Every failed silicone line stripped out and renewed — mold's eviction notice.
DIY re-caulks fail because old silicone never fully comes off — new beads peel within months. Our removal is mechanical and chemical, down to clean tile and tub, before a single new bead goes in. As a standalone service it fits in an afternoon; bundled with regrouting it's the detail that makes the whole job look new. Here's what lines we renew and why each matters.
- Full strip. All old silicone removed mechanically + chemically, not skimmed.
- Every line. Corners, tub/pan joint, ceiling line, fixtures, niche edges, glass track.
- 100% silicone. Mold-resistant, flexible, color-matched — never paintable caulk in showers.
- Stain treatment. Shadowing beneath old beads treated before resealing.
- Included in regrouts. Standalone $120–$300; always bundled in regrout quotes.

Southington notes
Southington's 90s primary showers are failing in waves — loose floor tile and musty grout that no cleaner fixes. Re-tile the floor, save the walls. In Southington we re-caulk hundreds of tub lines a year: Hall baths carry the load in Southington family homes: original tub walls with soap-scum grout, floors with cracked tiles at the doorway. Primary-bath shower floors from the 90s boom are delaminating on schedule now. A two-hour service that holds for years — if the substrate beneath is dry, which we verify free.
Common questions
100% silicone, mold-resistant, color-matched. Never paintable latex in wet areas — it feeds mildew and cracks with movement.
$120–$300 for a full shower/tub detail, often same-week. Always included free-standing inside every regrout quote.
Years, with ventilation and a squeegee habit. We include the 30-second maintenance routine at walkthrough.
We treat shadowing before resealing. If the substrate is soft or the wall reads wet, we show you and price the real fix — no sealing over rot.
