Christina;
Hope these will help you out!
Use a caulking product called “Big Stretch” usually found at ACE Hardware stores. Remains permanently flexible, is paintable unlike silicon, and can be used indoors or out.
I used it with Hardie cement siding where I had expansion/contraction of over 1/4” between winter and summer and never had an issue.
just make sure you clean out all the old caulk first and the area is clean and dry
Maybe it's the kind of caulking you are using. Here is an article for you: https://www.familyhandyman.com/bathroom/remodeling/how-to-re-caulk-a-shower-or-bathtub/view-all
