Instead of tearing out all the old caulk, this method simply reseals the cracks. Fresh silicone bonds well, stays flexible, and creates a watertight layer that keeps moisture out—extending the life of your bathroom without a full redo.
Pro Tips
-
Always ventilate the room while working.
-
Pick high-quality silicone caulk for durability.
-
If the old caulk is too far gone, removal might still be necessary.
The Bottom Line
Fixing cracked caulking doesn’t have to be a nightmare project. With this simple overlay method, you’ll save time, effort, and money—while keeping your bathroom looking clean and protected for years to come.
