Why Professional Caulking Is Worth the Cost
The difference between a professional re-caulk and a DIY attempt is the removal of the old caulk. Applying new caulk over old creates a weak bond that fails quickly. Professional caulking removes all existing material, preps the surface, and applies new caulk cleanly — resulting in a seal that lasts.
Price Ranges in South Florida
Bathroom re-caulk (single bathroom) — Tub surround, sink, toilet base — typically $75–$150 as a standalone visit. Combined with other work, often included in the minimum charge.
Kitchen caulking — Countertop and sink — similar to bathroom pricing, $75–$150.
Multiple bathrooms or full-home re-caulk — $200–$400 depending on the number of wet areas and extent of work.
Exterior window and door caulking — Priced per linear foot or by the number of windows. A standard home with 8–12 windows might run $150–$300.
When to Re-Caulk
In Florida, bathroom caulk should be inspected annually and replaced every 2–3 years. Exterior window and door caulk every 3–5 years.
