A Shower in Long Beach Looks Incredible After Getting Our Grout Sealing Services

May 25, 2024

A homeowner in Long Beach had tried to improve her shower's appearance but she was making no progress with the cleaning products she knew. After weeks of no improvement, she was starting to feel anxious and the stains on the shower only became more apparent.


She'd originally gone online looking for cleaning tips in case she'd missed something during her own cleaning sessions, but her goal changed as soon as she found Sir Grout Nassau New York in her search results. After checking our picture gallery and other parts of our website, the homeowner was convinced that she could trust our grout sealing services in Long Beach, so she gave us a call to ask for more information. Our agent gladly answered all her questions and the call ended with a date set for an in-home evaluation with our crew.

On the appointed date, our techs went to her house early in the morning to look at the shower. The homeowner immediately let them into her home after recognizing our uniform and the logo on the vehicle, so they started their inspection with no time wasted in between. The soiled grout drew their eye right away, so thy started by checking all the grout lines and testing their cleaner on some of the stains. The process revealed that the porous surface had absorbed a lot of hard water after the sealant started to fade, and the resulting damage was more prominent on the seams, where parts of the grout had gone loose. The efflorescence on the walls also did a lot to mute the ceramnic's natural color, making the shower look unhygienic and neglected.

Regular cleaners were more likely to make the problem worse by adding to the corrosion of hard surfaces and trapping the dirt on the grout pores. With this in mind, our specialists offered to revamp the shower with their professional equipment and their test on the grout confirmed that they had the means to remove all the embedded dirt. The client thanked them for their assessment and took the chance to set a new appointment for the restoration.

Our crew returned to her house a few days later, as scheduled. At the beginning of the process, they prepared the shower stall with masking tape and used a surface-safe cleaner to detach the mold and soap scum. Between this and the use of a 275-degree vapor cleaner, our techs worked efficiently to eliminate all traces of dirt from the tiles and the grout.

To restore the damaged seams, they removed the old caulk and installed epoxy grout around the floors and on the corners. Our epoxy solution is resistant to water, mold, and other liquids so it's ideal to withstand weeks and months' worth of moisture.

Following this, our experts applied ColorSeal to the grout lines on the wall to match the protection on the joints and the floor's grout. Our acrylic-based sealant is available in multiple colors to ensure a good-looking result, but its benefits don't stop at that. It provides a strong barrier that keeps external elements away from the grout pores, repelling soap and cosmetic residue, water, mold, mildew, and more.

All these steps made the shower look as good as new, and the homeowner had nothing but praise after seeing the result. She also promised to recommend our services to all her friends and family in Long Beach.

After another successful restoration, our techs started putting away their equipment and took a moment to go over some additional cleaning pointers. They started by recommending Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner over other store-bought cleaners and homemade solutions. Our product is the ultimate proof that pH-neutral cleaners are superior in many ways. It removes the stains caused by mold and soap residue in minutes, and homeowners don't have to add other cleaners just to get the effectiveness they need in their shower cleaning routine.

As our techs told the client, the best cleaners work best when they're not brought down by abrasive tools. The homeowner had been careful about avoiding scratch marks on the tiles, but our techs still shared a general reminder to avoid steel wools and other sharp tools. A towel or a terry cloth works best for scrubbing off embedded dirt, as long as you remember to wash the fabric before using it again.

Another way to reduce the number of stains on your shower surfaces is by keeping the space well ventilated at all times. A damp environment is more prone to moisture buildup and a host of hygienic issues, so it pays off to make some changes. Just by opening the windows and doors from time to time, you can make an improvement in the maintenance of your bathroom surfaces.
