Hopefully this is the correct forum for this but just looking for a little advice on how to approach recaulking where the my tub meet my tile. Mid August I had all the tile around my tub redone (ie remove all old tile and backer board and installed all new kerdi board and tile (tub remained and was not removed)). Wife was getting a shower last week and I thought I heard a dripping noise and sure enough I was correct. Looked behind the wall to see a slow drip then inspected the tub area and noticed the caulked was cracking. Contacted the contractor who did the work since it is only 2 months old and shouldn’t be cracking like that and no response.
So I’m looking for suggestion on how to repair the cracked caulk. I assume I would need to remove the cracked area and reapply or can I mask off the area and just add another thin layer on top? Sorry for the amateur question but I just want to make sure this is done right as this bathroom has been nothing but a headache since I’ve moved into this home. I’ve attached a picture of the cracked caulk as well as the caulk that was used. Maybe I need to use a different caulk
