If you are redoing your bathroom or you just want to clean it up a bit to remove mold and mildew, you can actually caulk the tub yourself and save the cost of having a professional do it. Caulking a tub or shower is relatively easy and you just need a few basic supplies.
This tutorial will tell you everything that you need to know to remove your old caulking, mask the area to be caulked and apply the caulk. Caulking is essential to limit the amount of mildew that grows in your tub. If you do not currently have caulking, you can learn how to add it yourself.
DIY projects are great and this is a very helpful one. Caulking the entire tub should only take you a couple of hours at the most – even if you don’t normally do your own caulking – and it will make your bathroom look virtually new.

I think the value of caulk has weakened in the past few years. Used to be, you could caulk something and it would stay caulked. Today, that stuff doesn’t stick to anything. It pulls away like cord cheese.
