Our Techs Provided Amazing Caulking Services To Restore This Tile Shower in North Port

May 10, 2024

A homeowner in North Port knew that his shower and bathtub needed to be cleaned. He never fell behind on routine cleaning, but at some point, the process became more about keeping count of the number of stains on his shower surfaces. No matter how many products he used and how much he scrubbed, the shower didn't lose its worn-out look.


Dealing with the stains was hard enough, and the homeowner was all the more concerned after finding cracks around the bathtub. He wanted to find a solution before the problem affected the shower on a structural level, so he started looking for caulking services in North Port not long after this discovery.

He came across Sir Grout Sarasota on his first online search and was impressed by each new piece of information. After reading about our services and checking our picture gallery, he headed to our scheduler and filled out the form to request an appointment with our crew.


Our specialists arrived at his house bright and early for an in-home evaluation on the scheduled date. They looked at the shower stall, noting the discoloration on the tub and the embedded mold on the seams. Overall, the shower looked dull and unappealing, mainly because the joints had taken a lot of damage, as shown by the cracks on the surface. When the client asked about it, our techs explained that several factors play a part in the deterioration of shower surfaces. There's no way to avoid exposure to hard water and soap residue, but generic cleaners also worsen things by keeping the dirt trapped in the grout pores. Our experts needed to deep clean the shower before making the necessary repairs to the grout. They also offered to seal all the grout lines since unsealed grout can gather a lot of stains in a relatively short time. The homeowner was thankful for the insight and didn't hesitate to schedule a new appointment for the restoration.

They returned a couple of days later, and the client immediately let them in. They prepared the shower stall and cleaned every surface with a special cleaning formula that helped them remove all the stains. To eliminate all traces of mold and mildew, they also have a 275-degree vapor steamer all over the shower area, including the bathtub and the window pane in one of the walls.

The next step was to restore the grout. Our crew removed the old caulk around the tub and installed epoxy grout. This would enhance its durability against water and mold while removing all the flaws of cement-based grout. They applied ColorSeal to the grout lines on the wall, using a white color per the homeowner's preference. This fantastic sealant protects the grout against external elements, so you don't always have to deal with embedded dirt.

The restoration was complete, and the shower stall looked terrific. The clean grout drew attention to the different shades of gray on the tiles, and the tub had the most beautiful glow. The homeowner was thrilled with the result and promised to recommend Sir Grout Sarasota after thanking our team for their service.

Our techs took a few moments to share additional recommendations to improve cleaning and maintenance. They told the client that traditional products like bleach and soap-based products just don't cut when used in a regular cleaning routine. PH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are much more reliable to preserve shower surfaces against moisture and wear and tear. Our product is effective when removing efflorescence, mold mildew, and other stains so that homeowners can be done with their chores much more quickly. Moreover, there is no need to worry about contaminating your spaces because our cleaner doesn't release toxic fumes.

Other recommendations included using non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee and improving indoor ventilation in different parts of the house. A simple way to do this is to open the windows and doors for at least a few hours every day.
