Bathtub caulking repeatedly separating

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago



Ive had to re-caulk my tub every year since moving in. Ive done it now 4-5 times and I refuse to do it again. When I remove the old stuff I make sure to get every little bit. I then clean it and let it dry overnight. Then I caulk it with 100% silicone caulking. I allow it to dry before using. Every. Single. Time. It separates after a couple months.

The house moves quiet a bit and Ive got kids that stick toys on the tub walls so that doesn't help.

besides redoing it again is there a better fix? I dont have the budget for tile or else I would just tile it. Is there a cheap panel system that might be stronger than the thin panels?
