We replaced the surround for our bathtub. The installation guy naturally
caulked the seams. Within a few months, the caulk started working loose.
He cleaned it thoroughly and did it again. The caulk is now mildewing
and cannot be cleaned.

Is there such a thing as a premium caulk? We never had this problem before.

Just a thought, stab in the dark really, but it's possible he/she/it used
the wrong type of caulking.

You go to Lowes, or HD, you have a wide selection of caulk. I'm
guessing you got what ever was on the truck. Check the selection out.
