Caulking & Weatherstripping Service in Scarborough – FIXRR
Old caulk cracks, peels, and grows mould. Worn weatherstripping lets cold air in and drives heating bills up. These are small problems with big consequences — water damage behind a shower wall, or a door that lets in a steady draft all winter. FIXRR Handyman fixes both, properly, in a single visit.
We serve all of Scarborough: Agincourt, Birch Cliff, Wexford, Highland Creek, Cliffside, and the surrounding area.

How much does caulking cost in Scarborough?
FIXRR caulking visits start at $199 in Scarborough. Multiple areas (for example, a bathtub plus two windows) are handled in the same visit at the base rate. Full price confirmed before work starts.
Can you recaulk a bathtub in Scarborough?
Yes. Bathtub recaulking is one of the most common FIXRR jobs in Scarborough. The old caulk is fully removed (not just caulked over), the surface is cleaned and dried, and a fresh silicone bead is applied and smoothed. The new caulk needs 24 hours to cure before getting wet.
Do you do window caulking in Scarborough?
Yes. Window frame caulking — interior gaps between the frame and drywall, and exterior gaps between the frame and siding — is a standard FIXRR service. Multiple windows can be done in one visit. This is especially valuable in older Scarborough homes before winter.
What is weatherstripping and when does it need to be replaced?
Weatherstripping is the seal around door frames and between a door and its threshold that blocks air, water, and drafts. It typically lasts 5–10 years before compressing or cracking. Signs it needs replacing: visible daylight around a closed door, cold drafts at the door frame, or doors that feel loose. FIXRR replaces door sweeps, foam seals, and V-strip weatherstripping in one visit.
Can you do both caulking and weatherstripping in one visit?
Yes. Combining caulking and weatherstripping in one visit is common and cost-effective — both are covered under the same base visit rate. Describe everything you need when you call so the visit can be scoped correctly.
How long does caulking take to dry in Scarborough?
Silicone caulk (used around bathtubs, showers, and wet areas) takes 24 hours to fully cure before contact with water. Paintable acrylic caulk (used for trim and baseboards) dries in 1–2 hours and can be painted over once dry. FIXRR tells you the curing time for each area before finishing the job.
