Caulking around a shower involves the removal of the old caulk. This is followed by a thorough cleanup to prepare the surface to accept the new caulk. The cost of materials is minimal. The preparation time required depends on the condition and type of the existing caulk.
If you are a contractor or a handyman, how much would this job cost in your area?

Handyman Job Pricing and Estimates
During the last month I did this for 2 customers. The first job took about 4 hours to complete. At $40-hr labor 30 minutes for driving time and $15 for supplies the total came to $195.
The second shower room was bigger and it took 6 hours to complete. At $40-hr labor 30 minutes for driving time and $20 for supplies the total came to $280.
Recaulk master shower
Not a hard project so I would charge $30.00 an hour with an additional $40.00 charge for drive time material and picking up supplies. It is hard to estimate a time but I would say 3 to 4 hours.
I would charge 100.00 with it being customer supplied.
I caulk tubs pretty often and I only charge $35.00
So that would include removing the silicone caulk completely and re-doing the walls and the floor and everything with new silicone caulk. Not just regular latex tub and tile caulk we’re talking about silicone caulk here.
For caulking a small master showr stall and reparing a leaky bathroom faucet.
