Help with mold and caulking for bathroom (hexbear.net)

My family's bathroom (bathtub shower) needs to be recaulked, the mold is bad and they've been recaulking incorrectly for years (possible water damage?). There is definitely mold behind the caulk.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do about it?

I wanted to pay a contractor to recaulk and do a minimum or temporary mold treatment, is there anything to look out for so I don't get scammed?

What experience did you have trying to recaulk or fix mold?

Is it expensive?

These comrades above me got the right idea. I did this the other day and it's really not that bad. The hardest part is cleaning up the old shit. It can really be a pain on your wrists if you have sensitive ones like me so be careful to use good technique and take breaks so you don't strain yourself too bad.
