Common problems we see
Peeling, shrinking caulk
As caulk ages it loses elasticity, shrinks and pulls away from the wall or floor, opening a gap that water runs straight through.
Black mould staining the seam
Mould grows in and under porous or failed caulk where moisture sits, and it can't be cleaned out — the sealant has to come out.
Soft, gummy or tacky caulk
Caulk that never fully cured, or is breaking down, stays soft and collects grime — a sign it needs to be removed and replaced.
Water leaking at a corner
Leaks at the base or corners usually mean the caulk has failed and water is escaping behind the tile or under the floor.

- 1
Cut out old sealant
We remove all old, mouldy or failed caulk down to a clean joint — applying new caulk over old traps residue and fails early.
- 2
Deep-clean and dry
The joint is scrubbed of mould and residue and fully dried so the new sealant bonds to a clean surface.
- 3
Mask and apply
We mask the tile for a crisp line and apply a premium 100% silicone, mildew-resistant sealant designed for wet areas.
- 4
Tool a clean bead
The bead is tooled smooth so it presses into the joint and sheds water, then the mask is removed for a clean finish.
What you get
- Watertight seams at every corner
- Mildew-resistant premium sealant
- Clean, professional finish
- Stops hidden water damage
Why Orange County showers need this
Orange County's water is moderately to very hard, and the coastal humidity from Newport Beach to Laguna Beach keeps showers damp for long stretches. The combination of mineral-rich water and slow drying means soap scum, scale, mould and etching build up steadily on OC showers — making regular professional cleaning, sealing and restoration a smart investment rather than a luxury.
Common shower issues in Orange County
Mineral scale and soap scum
OC's hard water leaves calcium scale and soap-scum film on tile, glass and grout that dulls the shower and resists normal cleaning.
Coastal mould and mildew
Beach and harbour communities stay humid, so showers dry slowly and mould returns in grout and caulk soon after a standard clean.
Etched and stained stone
Natural stone showers across Orange County — from Irvine to Mission Viejo — etch and stain under hard water and acidic cleaners.
Failing grout and caulk
Mineral build-up and movement crack grout and shrink caulk, the most common route for water to reach the substrate in OC homes.
What affects the price
- Linear metres of seam being caulked
- Number of corners, fixtures and penetrations
- How much old caulk needs to be removed
- Whether mould remediation behind the seam is needed
- Access around glass, benches and niches
Aftercare & maintenance
Keep the new caulk dry for the full cure time (usually 24 hours). Clean it with mild, non-abrasive products and a soft cloth. A quick wipe-down after showering prevents soap and mould build-up and keeps the seam clean.
