Default Re-caulking a Plastic Shower

I am looking for a contractor who will remove and replace all of the silicone caulk in and around a plastic shower stall. It is impossible to keep it clean because of the black stuff that accumulates around and under it. Any suggestions?

This is generally a fairly simple DIY project, but if you cannot do it ,I would look for a well recommended handy man and then make sure the new caulking compound is for bathroom/shower use and is mold resistant.

if you can manage to squeegee the entire shower after each use, the mold doesn't build up. yeah, it's a pain, i know, but worth it for me not to have to scrub it down with bleach once a week.
