Caulking is a primary consideration when it comes to modern bathtubs and whole bathrooms. It’s necessary for sealing the grout lines between your tub and wall, avoiding mold and mildew, and decreasing leaks, among other things. This is why it’s critical to keep caulk in tip-top shape. Caulk will crack from time to time and will need to be refilled.

Regularly moist regions in the bathroom, such as the corners, edges, bases, and other elements of the shower/tub, stand-alone shower, or sink, are major concern areas for caulk deterioration. You’ll likely notice concerns in the shower/tub along the seal between the tub and the wall. Caulk damage along the floor where the tile meets the wall may be seen in the standalone shower.

If these caulk damages were left unattended will cause leaking specially if your bathtub and standalone shower are in the second floor of your house, which could be a cause for a greater maintenance problems. A clean and mold-free bathroom is worth the extra trouble that re-caulking requires.
