This Homeowner in Fort Myers, Florida Said Farewell to Her Stained Shower, Thanks to a Grout Sealing

August 01, 2016

Showers are one of the busiest areas in a home. Their damp condition combined with certain agents – such as dirt, time, water, and excessive usage – make deterioration easier. Cleaning methods are also crucial to preserve the appearance of a shower's floor and walls. Actually, it is very common to use offensive cleaning products that stain, scratch, and damage tiles and grout. This was precisely what had happened to this homeowner. His bathroom had suffered from the effects of time, use, and water, along with incorrect maintenance techniques. This combination led to dingy, chipped, and cracked grout lines and exposed joints.



This situation was very frustrating for the homeowner. He had tried different techniques and products, but nothing had seemed to clean the grout lines. One day at work, he mentioned his disappointment about his shower's appearance.His boss, who had found us while looking for a Fort Myers grout sealing service for his bathroom, immediately recommended Sir Grout SW Florida's services. He told the homeowner that Sir Grout SW Florida had done a great job on his home, and he gave him a business card with the local phone number. The homeowner immediately called after the conversation with his boss and arranged an appointment.

When they arrived at the home, our team of professionals explained all the problems the shower had and the procedure they would carry out to restore the shower. Since they noticed the grout was very worn down and had visible stains, dirt, and cracks, they determined that it was necessary to seal all the existing grout. This procedure would recover the shower's former appearance.

Grout is very important for securing tiles on walls and floors. One of grout's primary features is its porosity. This characteristic allows grime and water to permeate its surface, causing stains and other problems. Busy areas like showers are highly exposed to water – this condition causes unsealed grout to deteriorate.



Sir Grout SW Florida's grout sealing experts proceeded to recapture the shower's charm. The procedure involved a deep cleaning process that consisted of using pH-neutral cleaning products combined with vapor steam cleaning to remove the embedded dirt and stains. The experts also applied ColorSeal on both floor and walls to seal and recolor the grout lines. The homeowner chose ColorSeal in Bone, an off-white which perfectly matched the color of the tiles. After the job was finished, the customer was very pleased with the results. He admired his beautiful shower and thanked the team.

Even when grout is in the best conditions, it becomes dirty and stained with time and use. Nevertheless, it is necessary to pay attention to some signs that could tell you that your grout needs a sealing service. The worst cases of unsealed grout include alarming, large cracks or crumbling grout, though small fractures can also cause problems. Furthermore, stains on your grout indicate that water is leaking. As water seeps into the grout and under the tiles, the surface cracks and gives the shower an unappealing appearance, which is why sealing grout is imperative in areas with tile surfaces to prevent further problems and expensive remodeling.
