How Do You Caulk a Tub?
Do you have peeling caulk on your bathtub? If it's compromised, you should replace it immediately, as leaving the tub unprotected can lead to water damage and other problems. No matter what the reason is, homeowners who attempt to caulk their tubs themselves frequently feel intimidated by the process. Our company, Candu Plumbing, offers high-quality commercial and residential services to clients both in California and Arizona. How often should you caulk your tub at home? The following tips can help make the process less stressful.
Gathering the Right Tools and Supplies
First, gather all the supplies you will need for the task. You will need these items:
Tube of Caulk
Caulking Gun
Rubber Gloves
Razor Scraper
Painters Tape
Utility Knife
Paper Towels
Denatured Alcohol
Steps to Caulk a Tub
As soon as you have all of the necessary tools, it is time to begin caulking. By using a razor scraper, you can remove old caulk first. Be careful when using this device. Even though it can get rid of caulk quickly, it can also cause injury if improperly used. Make sure to use plastic blades that provide protection for your fingers and fixtures. When the caulk is removed, clean the area and sanitize everything with denatured alcohol. To avoid messes, it can also be useful to mark off the tiles with painters tape. You should then insert the caulk tube into the caulking gun. After that, cut the tube at an angle of 45 degrees. This will make it easier to apply. Squeeze the caulking gun gently while holding it at a 45-degree angle. Keep a consistent pace and pressure so that the caulk is used evenly. Then you should smooth the caulk with a damp paper towel or your finger while wearing a rubber glove. This will help create a clean line. Remove the tape before the caulk dries, and leave the area untouched for two days.
Water Damage: What Do You Do?
While removing the old caulk, did you notice any signs of water damage? In this case, you should consult a local plumber to ensure that you dont have a hidden leak. Professional plumbers can inspect the problem and figure out what may be causing it.
