People ask this kind of thing in r/halifax, so I guess I'll give it a shot here.
A couple weeks ago I had one of the mold remediation places deal with moldy caulking around my tub, and they only replaced the moldy bits, and didn't do a very good job of that. I've been working my way up to trying to patch the worst bits, but the more I look at it the worse it gets. Does anyone have a suggestion for who could properly replace all of the caulking around the acrylic tub, walls, and ceiling? It's a lot of caulking.

Can’t give you Halifax specific recs, but any handyman worth their salt should be able to tackle that job.
In case it wasn’t clear, just doing the moldy bits is wrong. They should have scraped off all the old material and recaulked the entire thing.
If it’s a struggle to find a local handyman who you can rely upon to do it right, might consider a painter, but that’s probably overkill for this.

I know replacing all the caulking is the best way to go, but the problems here aren't even because it was a partial replacement. It's just caulked badly, and it probably would have been even worse if they'd done everything.

Try calling the place that failed it already and get them to fix their work for free? At the very least get a refund if you can.

So like I said it's been a couple of weeks since the work was done, and really I should have done a more thorough inspection much sooner. I already called the company about an obvious problem the day after, and I probably should have gotten more dealt with then, but now just feels too late and I just want to be done with them.
