Caulking Services in Omemee, ON

Tub Seals and Drafty Frames in Omemee Homes

In a busy family home, the main bathroom tub gets used every day, and that's usually where caulk gives out first. Hot water makes the joint expand and contract over and over until the bead cracks or lifts at a corner. Once water gets behind it, it can sit in the wall for a long time before anything shows. Bathtub caulking on a typical tub or shower runs $75 to $150, and a whole bathroom is usually $150 to $250.

Kitchens are the same problem on a smaller scale. The joint along the back of the counter and around the sink takes splashes all day. We remove the old bead completely, clean the joint with a mildew remover, let it dry, and lay 100% silicone, which stays flexible. Kitchen counter and backsplash caulking costs $75 to $150. Silicone needs about 24 hours to cure before the sink or tub goes back into service.

Window caulking and exterior trim joints are the other half of the job, particularly on the older houses near the village core. Caulk on the outside of a frame shrinks after years of sun and cold, and a gap you can barely see is enough to let a winter draft in. Those joints get a paintable acrylic-latex so they can be painted to match the trim.
