Bathroom caulking and repairs in Ajax are often booked before anyone moves in. You get the keys to a Westney Heights or Nottingham house, walk into the bathroom, and the sealant around the tub is grey and peeling at the edges. That is a job worth doing before the first shower, not after.
I strip the old bead out completely, clean the surfaces, and lay a fresh one. Regrouting, loose tiles, a wobbly grab rail and a fan that has stopped working can all be handled on the same visit.
Ajax gets a lot of first time buyers moving out from the city, and the bathroom goes on the list for move in week. Nobody wants to use a stranger shower with grey sealant in the corners, so the call here is often about starting clean rather than fixing a leak. In the older core off Harwood the wartime era houses kept their original bathrooms, where the wall tile stops partway up and the top of the bead has painted plaster to grip instead of glaze.

A few photos of the tub, shower corners and vanity usually tell me whether this is a reseal, a regrout, or something behind the tile. I price it from that and reply within one business day, with no obligation.
The old bead is cut and pulled, the residue scraped back with a plastic razor, and the joint wiped clean. A damp joint gets time and airflow to dry, because silicone applied over moisture never bonds properly.
The tub is filled before sealing so the joint sits at its widest, both sides are masked, and the silicone is run and tooled in one pass. Tape comes off wet so the edges stay crisp and straight.
I tell you exactly how long to keep the shower dry, usually a full day. Tools, offcuts and the old caulking leave with me, surfaces get wiped down, and the bathroom is ready to use once cured.
Resealing one tub joint is quick. Stripping a full shower enclosure that has been recaulked over itself several times is not, because every layer has to come off before the new bead will bond. What moves the price here is how much old material there is, whether grout work or loose tiles come with it, how tight the access is behind a toilet or a glass door, and who supplies the sealant and fittings. Drying time can spread a job over two short visits. I agree the price with you before any of it starts.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
I reply within a business day and can usually fit it into the week. Doing the bathroom before the furniture arrives makes it a simpler job. Send me a couple of photos of the tub and the shower corners and I will tell you what it needs. Silicone wants a night to cure, so book the work for the day before you want to use the shower properly.
