recaulked
Applied fresh sealant
Recaulked means caulked again—having reapplied the waterproof sealant around joints, seams, or gaps.
Caulking deteriorates over time, so bathtubs, windows, and boat hulls periodically need to be recaulked: The contractor recaulked the windows before winter.
We recaulked the deck seams to stop the leaks.
