How do I properly caulk my bathtub
I have a bathtub / shower combo. I have re-caulked it at least twice in the last 3 - 4 years. Every time the caulking cracks, and ends up not doing any good.
I have a shower surround that isn't 100% secured to the wall. Re-doing the shower wall isn't in my budget at this time. Is there a way to do it so that it won't crack whenever someone pushes on the shower surround?

Buy the best quality latex caulk that you can afford. Secure the shower better. It may be that movement is causing this. -

Talk to someone at the home improvement store and get a better caulk that is more elastic (ability to stretch). It may cost more than what you have been buying. -
