recaulk

Reapply bathroom sealant

To recaulk is to apply fresh caulk—the waterproof sealant used around joints and seams—typically after removing old, cracked, or deteriorated caulking.

Most commonly refers to bathroom and kitchen maintenance: I need to recaulk the bathtub this weekend.

The task involves scraping away the old seal before applying new material.
