5 min read

Cracked caulk lets water get behind tiles. Replacing it is a simple afternoon job.

Steps

  1. Remove old caulk with a scraper
  2. Clean the joint and let it dry completely
  3. Tape both sides for a neat line
  4. Apply a steady bead of kitchen and bath silicone caulk
  5. Smooth it, remove the tape, and let it cure before using the shower
