Grout and caulk

Where it fails, how old it is, and a close photo.

• Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
• Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
• Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in tile, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

Tub, 22 ft of caulk: 1 tube of silicone for a 1/4″ bead, and 24 h before water touches it.

What people get wrong:

• New silicone over old. It won’t stick.
• Caulking a wet joint. Water trapped under the bead grows mildew.
• Acrylic in a wet joint. It shrinks and lets go.
