Last summer I had Lowe's install new linolum in my bath rooms and when they where done I went in and put new bass board all around the walls but not on the bath tub, They caulked around the tub when they did the installation but now the caulking they put around the tub is comeing loos and looks like hell How does one go about fixing this I am sure that if I just caulk over it I will still have the same problem. HELP

Scrap out all loose caulk with flat bladed screwdriver, recaulk with good grade of milldue resistant bath and tile caulk.

I bought some GE Bath and Shower silicone do you think this will do the job?:rolleyes:

Should be fine.

I'd use a 4" razor blade scraper I bought at ACE. It is likely the installer used silicon so it can be fun removing it and the scraper can actually slice it from the floor and the tub. Like Harold said the GE stuff will be fine and I agree, if you'd like better than fine consider DAP's Kwik Seal Plus, it contains a chemical to kill mildew.

:) Thanks for all of the help I will be doing this little job next week. It's amazing how people come together to help people in need. You guys keep up the good work. I will more than likely be back because I am remodeling my home and have a lot of work left to do. Thanks:)
