I have a customer who said that the caulking around his tub & shower base doesn't last more than 6 months. It get moldy, etc.... He wants me to replace it with grout. One of my suppliers said that he has a mildew resistant caulking. I was wondering it that's any better or if there is a marine product that would be stronger. Any suggestions?

Hello Everyone, I've been searching forums for help on a 1970's bathroom remodel. I know your basic handyman skills as I've redone a few rooms in our home. Many questions on redoing this budgeted remodel. The sink is starting to chip at the drain and seems to be corroding the sink is stamped 71-27-61E (not sure when it was made) mounted under the tiled counter top. To the best of my knowledge the vanity is the original tiles which were painted (very well) Also the tile on the floor trip and bathtub. I've read the floor tile could contain asbestos and is solid installed to the concrete flush with the trim tiles. I'd like to keep those and the shower tile. The backside of the tub where the knob to close/open the drain seems to be rusted out, could I add an o-ring or caulk it to keep it from leaking through. I also sprayed a rust stop spray after buffing the tub. I'm looking to possible salvage the tub, installing new knobs and orings. Salvage the sink since it's pretty well installed to the tiled counter top. Change the flooring or install over it, while keeping the original side trim tiles. Replace the toilet. Paint, add vent fan/light since it doesn't have one. Add maybe two mirrors or a long one to not make the one sink off to the side look awkward. Any help, even one answer to my question would be greatly appreciated. I'm needing to get this moving ASAP. thanks, Jon [ATTACH]35912[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35913[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35914[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35915[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35916[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35917[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35918[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35919[/ATTACH]
