If you have a tub that is not metal then fill the tub with water up to the overflow before installing the new silicone, and drain it the next morning. This prevents the silicone from cracking when the tub flex when you are actually using it.
Shannon. Great video mate thank you so much. It's nice that you have not rushed the video and shown what most folks will experience which is old silicone that gets stuck and needs patience to remove. Thanks for showing how to remove this properly. Thanks mate.
Shannon I cannot live without you my friend, Ive learnt so much from you and you've helped me save a lot of money. Anything I need help with I reference with your videos. Thank you Sir !!
Another great, practical video. The tape is key. I just finished my shower. My dad gave me the tape tip before hand, but I thought, "Oh, I don't need to do that. I have a steady hand." My first bead was a disaster. Not quite "spatula" quality, but pretty bad. I taped the other seams, and it was way, way easier with a better finish. Don't take a shortcut on the prep. The tape is critical unless you're a pro. Here's another tip that I found useful. Instead of licking my finger, I kept a small cup of warm water on-hand. Every time I'd go to smooth the caulk, I'd dip my finger first. My neighbor suggested also adding a drop or two of dishwashing liquid to that cup of water. I'm going to try that with my next shower.
Thanks for the tips Shannon. Just tried this today. Worked great. Very straight forward. I also bought the tool. It's called a caulking applicator. Was 8.00 CAD. Look forward to your other videos. Thanks!
Thank u. All ur videos are very simple and clear instructions. i have changed my entire kitchen sink, faucet and bath tub silicone by watching ur videos step by step. Thanks million 👍🏽
That was soooo helpful! I’m a moderately old widow and I’m re-doing the nursery bathroom. It’s a small bathroom that has had nothing done to it in 40 yrs., yup, really old. Anyway, I seem to do everything ha f ass d backwards. I’ve painted and I’m ready to do the floor and it occurred to me that I better do the caulking first, duh. I was kinda panicking because all the videos that I’ve watched shows it after the caulk was done. Not helpful. Then, I found yours! Thank you so much. You’re a fantastic teacher.
Thank you found that really informative - the use of the tape will help me considerably with my shaky hands! The last time I did it it looked like The Alps! Thanks again
0.0 You didn't know who Bob Ross was!? I guess when I grew up with only half a dozen tv channels and one of them was PBS you surf around and stop on a guy painting "happy little trees" and think, wow, is this guy high, and rocking that white guy afro was just captivating.
I made the mistake of listening to the one comment about the tape being a waste of time. The silicone comes out of the dispenser quite fast and if you're not used to doing this then its quite difficult to keep the flow to the amount needed. It looked ok-ish until I ran my finger along to smooth and bed the silicone into the corner, when it spread about and made a right mess. This stuff is sticky, so trying to keep things neat is tricky when your fingers get all stuck up with it, and trying to wipe excess off fingers with loo roll is not a good idea as it sticks to you. I've now had to try and remove what I've done ( which has been the longest part of the job so far) so I can start again, with the added inconvenience of waiting for any remaining silicone to dry before I re-try, next time with the tape in place to keep things tidy and neat. My advice, don't skip the tape.
Love the video. When I did my tub I wish removal was this easy. The caulking was a plastic tub against a vinyl floor. Both surfaces very easily scratched and cut so I couldn't really use a sharp razor. It was such a pain to remove. I do however wish I had known about the tape method. The more I smoothed it out the wider the swatch of caulking became. But it was good enough to sell the house. Our new house I am definitely using your tape technique. Thanks for the video.
If you have a mold/mildew problem, would you treat the gap with bleach after removing the old silicone? If you do, how long would you wait before applying he new silicone?
Awesome Results! My wife was questioning me about the time it took me to tape off everything but once she saw how great it turned out she was impressed! Thanks for the great tips and how to videos.
Wow how did I find you here! Crazy! Where’s the new videos of the storms… I guess it’s been a quiet summer so not much to go off of. Do you chase hurricanes too?
I wouldn't use caulk around anything that comes into regular contact with water, it's not waterproof enough, caulk is more for joining wallpaper and minor damage repair.
I've never used the tape, until now that is...Thanks for this video as I picked up a couple useful tips from it. Thanks Shannon, your videos are always full of good useful information and tips and well explained. Thumbs-Up' as always......
Hi ! Many thanks 🙏 I’m going out new silicone in my bathroom tub 🛀 And I’ll do it my self… with your help everything will be looking good in the end … Subscribed and liked. 🎩
Hi - thanks for this. Here in NZ, after the caulking, the pros spray it with a weak mixture of water and washing up liquid, and then they use an ice block (popsicle?) stick to trim. Seems to work well.
My husband did a mess too the last time he did it & to top it off he didn't even remove the old silicone 😅 I thought it was soo sloppy & was angry cause he said he knew how yet it looked HORRIBLE. I could of done it way better 😅 only saying that because unlike him i like to do some research on any project i do just so i wont do something i shouldn't 😁
Thanks a lot. Simple instructions and well put across. That was helpful and I've done the job myself which I never would have tried before. All the best.
Thanks for the video. My question is what type of silicone are you using? I have seen different types of silicone like 2.0 and 3.0. Is there a diffrence and which one would you recommend for a very old shower and bathtub combo? we just bought a DAP 3.0. thanks
I know this is an old comment, but thought I'd reply in case others read it. I just finished two caulking jobs -- one in my kitchen and one in my master bath. For the kitchen, I used DAP Kwik Seal. For the master bath shower, I use GE Silcone II. I greatly preferred the GE product. It was just easier to work with, easier to smooth, and it didn't start to set up before I got the finish the way I wanted it. I finished the job late in the evening, went to bed, and the next morning the caulk was totally set up and ready to go. To me, the quick-dry or quick-cure products are just a pain in the you-know-what to work with. And I prefer using 100% silicone for areas that are routinely wet. Just my two-cents for what it's worth.
Hi Shannon, you always seem to make these jobs look so easy. I just finished recaulking my tub two days ago and it took me FOREVER! I always spend a lot of time getting as much old silicone up as possible, since I was always told that the new silicone wouldn't bond to the old stuff. I know you only had a small strip to do, but will the new patch job adhere properly to the old silicone caulking? I've always redone the entire tub, even if it was only a small area that needed to be repaired. Have I been wasting my time?
Just had a new bathroom which looks great but the silicone around the bath issue sloppy... he definitely didn't use tape! So looks like im going in there myself, thanks for the video.. wish me luck!
perfect tools to finish off your silicone are the bowl of a plastic spoon and the curved corner of an old credit card. The spoon takes a little bit of know-how when turning corners, so I usually use the card.
And before you remove excess lite spray over with dish washing liquid so it doesn't stick to places you don't want it to stick then you don't have to mask off
Nice job. I always wondered how well new caulk would adhere to old caulk. I've done your method in the past where there's overlap so the seal should technically be fine but it still probably wouldn't last as long as long.
@@HouseImprovements ya which is a shame. I hate having to do the entire bath or shower because of this. I almost rather use a hybrid waterproof acrylic caulk and change it out more often since the removal is easier than 100% silicone and easier to work with.
This is a very helpful video! I am just wondering why caulking is being placed on top of grout on the shower walls. Is that due to the corner edges being more likely to trap dirt? In a shower that is cleaned regularly is there still a benefit to placing caulk on top of grout? If so, it is recommended on top of both regular sealed grout and Epoxy Grout? Thank you!
Looks nice and easy when there’s an appropriate gap between the tiles and the bathtub! The person who installed my tiles started a good 1/2” gap between the tiles and the bathtub, makes it not so fun to do and plenty of cursing in the process.
Hi, I’m not sure if your still replying to this video but I’m going to ask anyways. How well do the new silicone caulk bind with the old one? My tub is caulked all the way up from tub to the ceiling but I only need to do the tub. Can I just take off the old caulk from there or do I need to remove all the caulk?
What do you recommend for the tiles around the shower? Whoever did ours did a poor job. It's broken off in pieces and has molded underneath. I don't know if caulk would be sufficient or if I need to use grout. 🤔
Wow, this is way better than the way my dad does it. There's silicone all over our shower because he doesn't wanna spend any real time on it. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Now I can get to doing the easy work myself. (My mom seems to think I can't handle this kind of stuff, even though I am an adult. Guess I won't tell 'er what I'm up to. ;)) Oh, I have a question. Should I clean mold off before, between, or after this process?
Honestly what a great tutorial. Kinda sucks that I my situation is a little bit more complicated than the video though. I’m a 17-year-old that was left to do the job by myself. I bought all the supplies that I needed and I got to work. What I soon found out is that the person that did the caulking before me was horrible at it and got it everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. There was so much mould combined with silicone that I could not handle the task. I am writing this comment as I’m taking my break. Should I just call someone else to do it at this point? The mould being unreachable behind the tub makes it really hard to clean it. Is it worth it to keep going or should I just call an expert?
Harvey Wallbanger they do if you use them properly, you have to use the angled side first that pushes the silicone in then go agen on the strait side to finish of 👌
I was watching ather videos but you show the best one.I realy love what i see,my husbent need to see it to ,to finaly finish my bat tub.10+ and thank you.Keep Roking
I ask this, because I am facing a similar situation, with the tile a similar distance from the tub as you had near the corner: Why did you cover so much of the tile with tape (leaving a tiny sliver above the edge of the tile)? I figured you'd want a larger bonding surface for the front-bottom edge of the tile. In my situation, I was planning on moving it slightly higher than what you had (an additional 1/16'' or maybe even 1/8'')
any tips to stop the silicone continuing to squeeze out the tube when I put it down? I remember from last time I tried, this is what caused me the biggest problem
If you have a tub that is not metal then fill the tub with water up to the overflow before installing the new silicone, and drain it the next morning. This prevents the silicone from cracking when the tub flex when you are actually using it.
Best thing, and one of the first things you should know about silicone, is it doesnt crack. Sorry not trying to be negative
Dumb question, how can you tell if your tub is made of metal?
@@Kha31486 metal detector sorry ill see myself out😂
@@Kha31486 you could try a fridge magnet
So I am kneeling in a full tub of water applying beads of silicone 🤪
This video is still going strong in 2022! Just "updated" my tub and it looks great - the wife is happy too, so that's a big plus!
I saw your video late last night and today i was able to do it myself.... I can't believe the difference in my bathtub

Another great, practical video. The tape is key. I just finished my shower. My dad gave me the tape tip before hand, but I thought, "Oh, I don't need to do that. I have a steady hand." My first bead was a disaster. Not quite "spatula" quality, but pretty bad. I taped the other seams, and it was way, way easier with a better finish. Don't take a shortcut on the prep. The tape is critical unless you're a pro. Here's another tip that I found useful. Instead of licking my finger, I kept a small cup of warm water on-hand.

yes, tape is best I just spray my finger with a sprayer as I go along and wipe any access silicone off my finger with a damp rag
you need a cup of soapy water as the washing up liquid stops the silicone sticking to your finger.

Taping before caulking leaves a nice straight line, but be careful the caulking isn't laid on too thick as it may lift as you remove the tape.
