Home Improvement - Shower Re-Caulking Project

When my husband and I moved into our house, we inherited a nice, moldy shower lining (and at no added cost).  No amount of scrubbing or cleaner got rid of it, so we finally decided to dig it out and re-caulk it.  The project took a long time, but, overall, the project was easy.

Here are the tools you need to complete this project, which we purchased from a local hardware store:

  • Silicone Caulk for Shower/Bathtub
  • Caulk Remover Tool
  • Caulk Applicator Tool
  • Caulk Gun



Step 1:  Use Caulk Remover Tool to dig out the old caulk around the edge of the bathtub or shower.
Step 2:  Thoroughly clean the area to remove any existing mold or dirt.
Step 3:  Allow the area to dry completely.
Step 4:  Apply caulk using caulk gun and smooth with the Caulk Applicator Tool.  When applying, use a thin bead of caulk, because, otherwise, when you smooth it out, there will be a lot of excess caulk to scrape up.
