Caulking Services in Fenelon Falls, ON

Sealing Busy Bathrooms and Weathered Exterior Joints

In a house that's lived in all year, bathtub caulking does the hardest work. Daily showers keep the joint wet, and over time the seal around the tub shrinks or goes black with mildew. Once it gaps, water runs behind the surround every time someone showers. It turns up later as soft drywall or a stained ceiling below the bathroom, which costs far more to fix than a fresh bead.

Outside, waterfront homes have more joints to watch. Around windows and doors on the lake side, and wherever pipes and vents pass through the siding, caulk takes strong sun and repeated freeze-thaw. Once it cracks, water gets into the wall or runs down toward the foundation. Replacing it before it opens up is the cheap option, and a spring or fall visit is the natural time to do it.

Kitchens are easy to overlook. The joint where the countertop meets the backsplash and the bead around the sink take splashes every day, and water and crumbs find their way into any gap. Kitchen countertop and backsplash caulking costs $75 to $150, the same as a single tub or shower. If you want the whole bathroom done at once, with the tub, sink, counter and toilet base, expect $150 to $250.
