Silicone Replacement& Sealing

Cracked, moldy, or peeling caulk isn't just unsightly — it lets water behind tile and fixtures, leading to bigger repairs. ORVUM removes old silicone completely and reseals with a clean, mildew-resistant bead.

Overview

What's Involved in Silicone Replacement

Old caulk and silicone break down over time — shrinking, cracking, and growing mold in humid Tampa Bay bathrooms. Once the seal fails, water can get behind tile and cabinetry, turning a small cosmetic issue into a costly repair.

ORVUM fully removes old silicone (not just caulks over it), treats the area for mold and mildew, and applies a fresh, mildew-resistant bead with clean, professional tooling — restoring both the look and the water seal.

Questions

Silicone Replacement FAQ

Why not just caulk over the old silicone?

Silicone doesn't bond well to old silicone or mold underneath — caulking over it traps moisture and fails quickly. ORVUM always removes old material completely first.

How long before I can shower again?

We recommend waiting about 24 hours after fresh silicone is applied so it fully cures before contact with water.

Can you match my existing grout or fixture color?

Yes — mildew-resistant silicone is available in a range of colors to closely match your existing tile, grout, or fixtures.

What causes caulk to fail so quickly in Florida bathrooms?

Tampa Bay's humidity accelerates mold growth and breaks down lower-quality caulk faster than in drier climates — which is why proper removal and a mildew-resistant product matter.

What warranty comes with silicone replacement?

Every ORVUM project includes a workmanship warranty. The exact term is confirmed in your written estimate before work begins, and is never less than one year from completion.
