Hello Everyone,
I have a dilemma. We recently remodeled our bathroom and replaced the bath tub. My contractor installed bathtub and caulked the surrounding bathtub. He used GE MAX5000 Siliconized Acrylic Caulk We let it cured for 2+ weeks. We took our first shower and noticed there is a leak that leaked to the 1st floor. We determined the cause of the leakage. The leak was seeping through the caulk of the bathtub’s stand. As I inspect the caulk, I noticed there are tiny cracks. I have to recaulk the surround area. Which brand and type of caulk do you recommend? I have attached the picture of my bath tub.
Please note: since the bath tub is round upward, water is trapped on the outside. I was thinking about getting a small water pump to suck the water back into the tub. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
