Do you need to learn how to caulk a bathtub?

Maybe the old sealant is moldy, peeling, or just nasty? This video could help you remove and apply a new bead of caulk without having to redo it multiple times.

Hey there, this is Jeff with Home Repair Tutor. I'm sharing this video because one of our awesome community members Lisa D'Amore asked me how to replace caulk in a bathtub.

Plus, I had to recaulk a bathtub in one of my rentals. Here's that story: the home had an acrylic tub that flexed and as a result the caulk separated from the bathtub and surround.

What can you do to make sure the new caulking stays put?

Here are some tips:
1. Use a caulk meant for bathrooms
2. Remove all the old sealant, I MEAN ALL OF IT
3. Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry
4. Fill the tub with water
5. Apply caulk and shape it with caulking tube
6. Smooth bead with wet finger

If you follow these tips you'll increase the odds of a good result.

I use DAP 3.0 because it's 100% waterproof and has Microban in it which helps prevent mold.

But let's be honest, mold will grow on anything that is organic. So if soap or dead skin cells (GROSS) land on DAP or any other caulk it'll likely accumulate mold or mildew. At least the Microban will help deter this a little.
