Recaulk a Tub in 5 Easy Steps (plus My Trick for Perfect Lines)
$10-15
1 Hour
Easy
Recaulking around your or is an easy project that even beginners can tackle with the right tools. My 5-step method takes about an hour and includes a trick that will get you lines as good as the pros!
I've got a trick up my sleeve for getting professional results with caulk.
I like to use a caulk remover tool. It makes getting out all the old bits of caulk much easier.
After the old caulk is swept up, I like to sanitize the area to get rid of any potential mold and mildew.
Painter's tape is one of my secret weapons!
What do you think of the final result?

I tried this around my toilet, which has tile flooring, what a mess I made..not so easy!

I've never used tape and I have used an old fashioned can opener to remove the old caulk. With a light hand it works fine.
