Bathroom
After the kitchen, I think the bathroom is the 2nd most important room in the house. It's were we prep for the day or where we relax in a tub at the end of the day. Having functioning soap holders, shower door seals, towel bars, toilet paper holders, a good showerhead, with nice pressure are a must for seamless use.
Caulking
Caulking is something I do daily for people. It's not just the tub area but the floor in front of the tub, the sink backsplash, around the sink, around the base of the toilet. I only use 100 Silicone. Typically, the less expensive colored caulks have acrylic in them and these tend to not last as well as the silicone. So if you are looking for a color match, make sure it is silicone based. Unless is specified Silicone is not paintable. So if you are putting it along the side of the tub, where it meets the wall, make sure you are installing the correct kind.
Sink Repairs-Undermount/Drop In
I also do my fair share of undermount sink repairs when they drop away from the countertop they are mounted to. This is typically an epoxy or caulking failure due to age or a poor installation. You would be surprised at how many people drop something into the sink and the porcelain shatters or cracks as well. I repair these using metal or wood undermount support kits in combination with silicone. Once a support structure is under the sink, it typically never can fall out again.
