Our Grout Sealing Crew Fully Revived This Beautiful Shower in Gilbertsville

January 05, 2025

Most homeowners are used to cleaning the soap scum on their shower surfaces, but dealing with it can get tiresome after several weeks, especially while knowing that the end result won't meet your standards. A homeowner in Gilbertsville was becoming familiar with this feeling, and she couldn't help but think that her cleaning efforts were going to waste. For months, she only managed to get some of the stains off her shower, with most of the walls sporting a visible layer of efflorescence. Things got even harder when she tried to clean the grout since regular cleaners didn't help detach the mold that was firmly stuck between the tiles.


The homeowner decided to contact a grout sealing service in Gilbertsville, not only to revamp her shower but also hoping to get some insight into how to deal with the moisture on her shower surfaces. With his goal in mind, she started an online search that led her to Sir Grout Bucks PA on her first try. As expected, she was impressed after finding our picture gallery and seeing examples of our shower restoration package, so she didn't have to debate herself to make her decision.

When she contacted us via phone call to schedule a visit, our agent gladly assisted her through the process, so the homeowner welcomed our techs into her home the very next day, as she'd initially hoped.

They immediately noticed the discoloration that spread across the entire shower, from the floor to all the sides. A soapy white layer concealed many of the gold details that made the ceramic surface stand out in the past. Moreover, the grout was almost completely hidden by mold and grime, making the shower look neglected and forgettable.

Our experts completed their assessment and went over their findings with the client. From the discoloration on the floor and the walls, it was obvious that all the grout lines needed sealant to keep more dirt from seeping into the porous surface. They also needed to deep clean every surface with their special equipment, explaining that regular cleaners wouldn't make much of a difference on the shower's appearance. The foamy residue left by these products only adds to the problems caused by the soap scum that often permeates shower surfaces. Our experts tested their own cleaner to drive home the contrast between store-bought solutions and our own products, leaving a portion of the floor spotless in minutes. The homeowner was fully convinced by this point, so she immediately asked for a new appointment.

On the scheduled date, our specialists returned to her home in Gilbertsville and started working on the shower right away. First, they used a pH-neutral cleaner to get the dirt loose, and from there, it wasn't hard to remove the dirt and mold from the surface, especially after our techs cleaned the shower with a 275-degree vapor steamer. Once they made sure that nothing obstructed the porous surface, they got ready to make the necessary repairs to the grout.

They installed water-resistant epoxy grout after carefully removing the caulk that had started cracking on the joints around the floor. Then, they applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the walls, enhancing their protection against external agents. Thanks to our acrylic-based sealant, grout surfaces can look spotless for much longer because there's a barrier keeping mold, mildew, soap, and other liquids from seeping into the pores.

With this, our techs completed the shower's restoration and were ready to show the result to the client. She was in awe after seeing how vibrant it looked and thanked us for cleaning every surface so thoroughly.

As they started putting away their equipment, our experts went over some useful cleaning tips with the homeowner. Shower surfaces often demand more care because of constant exposure to water and soap. PH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner represent the ideal solution to save time and get more satisfying results. Our cleaner works against mold, mildew, soap scum, and other common stains, removing all of it from the trickiest parts of a shower, like corner joints and the grout lines on the wall. This way, homeowners can sustain a successful cleaning routine without exposing themselves, children, and pets to fumes from chemical-based cleaners.

The right tools are just as important, which is why our crew recommended avoiding steel wools and other sharp objects. When scraping off stains, a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee is the best way to get the desired result without subjecting your tiles to any harsh treatment. 

Our final pointer was to keep an eye on the room's air quality, especially if mold is a common occurrence around the seams. Cleaning turns into an uphill battle when you have to deal with moisture buildup, and constant circulation of fresh air is the best way to keep the worst of it at bay. An easy way to improve indoor ventilation is by opening the windows and doors nearby. The homeowner thanked our specialists when they shared these recommendations and promised to spread the word about our grout cleaning services.
