Failed caulk in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County is how bathrooms advertise older leaks. This recaulk shower visit cut out the old joint, cleaned the substrate, and tooled a joint that can actually close.

How the caulking repair was handled
St. Petersburg, Pinellas County does not have a gentle off-season for building materials. That is why this caulking repair job is described in Florida terms, not Midwest terms.
- Remove the failed joint
Cut and scrape old material instead of laying a new bead on top of a dirty bond.
- Clean and dry
Solvent or soap cleanup, then dry time so the new sealant can wet the surface.
- Tool a continuous bead
Match the joint size to the gap, not a decorative smear.
- Cure before use
Keep the area dry for the manufacturer window listed on the tube.
Why this fails in Pinellas County
Florida bathrooms rarely dry between showers. A joint that is not fully tooled fails twice as fast.
