Re-caulk: the $200 Miracle

Every failed silicone line stripped out and renewed — mold's eviction notice.

Grout belongs on flat joints. Every corner, tub-to-tile line and fixture penetration should be flexible silicone — and in most Rocky Hill baths that silicone died years ago, inviting the black creeping lines every cleaner fails on. A full re-caulk strips every bead to bare substrate, treats any staining beneath, and lays fresh mold-resistant silicone with proper tooling. It's the cheapest transformation in bathroom care, and we include it in every regrout.

  • 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.

Rocky Hill notes

Rocky Hill condo owners tile one tub surround and the neighbors follow — whole buildings refresh one unit at a time. In Rocky Hill we re-caulk hundreds of tub lines a year: Condo tub-shower units are the Rocky Hill staple: replace the surround with tile and the whole unit feels renovated. Colonials run two-plus baths, so hall-bath floors and regrouts stack into efficient multi-room days. A two-hour service that holds for years — if the substrate beneath is dry, which we verify free.

FAQ

Common questions

Q01
There's staining under the old caulk — then what?

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.

Q02
Which lines do you renew?

All of them: corners, tub/pan joint, ceiling line, fixtures, niche edges, bench seats, glass track. Partial re-caulks leave the next failure in place.

Q03
Why not just caulk over the old caulk?

New silicone won't bond to old — it peels within months, trapping grime in between. We strip to bare substrate first, every time. That's the whole secret.

Q04
What caulk do you use?

100% silicone, mold-resistant, color-matched. Never paintable latex in wet areas — it feeds mildew and cracks with movement.
