Professional Recaulking Service in West Columbia, SC

Stop Leaks & Mildew With Professional Tile Recaulking

If you are seeing cracked, stained, or peeling caulk around your tub, shower, sink, or backsplash, it is more than a cosmetic issue. Gaps and damaged joints can let water seep behind your tile, leading to loose tiles and hidden mildew. Our recaulking service is designed to restore a clean, watertight seal so your bathroom or kitchen looks fresh and is protected from moisture.

At The Grout Medic of the Midlands, we focus on tile and grout restoration, including careful removal and replacement of failing caulk. We work with homeowners who want to address problems early instead of waiting for costly water damage. Our team offers a free, no-obligation estimate so you can feel confident about the best way to care for your tiled spaces.

Restore Failing Caulk With Professional Help

Over time, even the best caulk can dry out, shrink, and separate from tile. You might notice hairline cracks at the corners of your shower or dark stains that never quite scrub clean. These are early warning signs that water is finding its way into places it should not be.

Adding a new bead of caulk over the old material traps moisture and rarely lasts. Our professional recaulking addresses the cause. We remove deteriorated caulk, prepare the joint correctly using steam vapor technology, and apply a smooth, even line that seals the gap perfectly.

Signs Your Bathroom Needs Recaulking

Sometimes the need is obvious, like a missing chunk of caulk. Other times, signs are subtle.

• Visible Cracks: Fine lines along corners or where the tub meets the wall.
• Separation: Gaps where the caulk has pulled away from the tile.
• Persistent Stains: Dark spots that return immediately after cleaning.
• Water Issues: Soft drywall or musty odors near the shower.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need recaulking?

If you see cracks, gaps, or persistent discoloration that scrubbing won't remove, the seal is failing. If water lingers in the joint or mildew keeps returning, it is time for professional replacement.

Will I need to replace my tile?

In many cases, no. Recaulking is often enough to restore a watertight seal if the tile is solid. If we find loose tiles or crumbling grout, we may recommend regrouting alongside recaulking for a complete repair.

How long until I can use my shower?

Most recaulking jobs are finished in a few hours. The new caulk typically needs 24 hours to cure properly before getting wet. We provide specific instructions before we leave.

Can you fix mildew-stained caulk?

Yes. We remove the old, stained material completely and treat the area before applying fresh, mildew-resistant silicone. This is the only way to ensure the stains don't come back immediately.
