Caulking Services in Ajax, ON

Tired Builder Caulk in Ajax Bathrooms

Many Ajax houses still have the caulking the builder ran at move-in, or a quick bead someone squeezed over it later. Neither holds. Caulk laid over old caulk peels within months and traps moisture underneath it. Black spots under the bead usually mean mildew has got behind, and the fix is to cut it all out, clean the joint with mildew remover and let it dry fully before new silicone goes in.

New bathroom fixtures are a popular Ajax upgrade, and caulking is part of finishing that job properly. A new vanity top needs a bead along the backsplash and wall, a new toilet needs a neat seal at the base, and shower trim needs sealing where it meets the surround. It's simpler to do it while the fixture is going in than to come back for it later.

Silicone needs a full 24 hours before the tub gets wet, which is easy to live with when there's a second bathroom down the hall. Bathtub caulking runs $75 to $150, the same as a shower, and a full bathroom with tub, sink, counter and toilet base is usually $150 to $250. Kitchen counters and backsplashes are $75 to $150. Small jobs are welcome too, with a $50 minimum.
