About sealant & caulking services
Cutting the old out completely, drying the area, and filling the bath with water before sealing so the joint is at its widest is what makes it last. Sanitary grade silicone with a fungicide is the right product for wet areas; decorator's caulk is for gaps before painting and will not survive water.
