Bathroom caulking and repairs in Markham are rarely about one bathroom. A Cornell or Berczy house is tall and narrow with three or four bathrooms stacked up it, and they all reach the end of their sealant at roughly the same time.
So I usually work through the house in one visit: ensuite, main bath, powder room, basement shower. Cut out, clean, dry, reseal, plus any regrouting or loose tile along the way. Batching it that way means one visit instead of four and gets the whole place sorted.
The newer neighbourhoods in Markham put a lot of bathrooms in a small footprint. In Cornell and Berczy the powder room, main bath and ensuite sit one above the other on a narrow lot, and the top floor bathrooms often have the laundry beside them, so any water that escapes travels down through two storeys before you see it. Older Unionville homes are the opposite job: one dated family bathroom, tile that is fine, grout that is grey and crumbling in the shower corners.

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.
Usually yes. Cutting out and resealing three or four bathrooms is a full day, and it is the sensible way to do it because they all age together. Regrouting adds time, since the grout needs to firm up before I seal over it. I will look at what you have, tell you honestly whether it is one visit or two, and agree the price before I start.
