A Shower in Palmetto Regained All Its Beauty Thanks to Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

March 12, 2024

It's frustrating to put time and effort into cleaning your shower just to get a lackluster result at the end. A couple in Palmetto followed a strict cleaning program to keep their guest bathroom from looking unsanitary in any way, but they still had to face the trials of dealing with a soiled shower. Mold and soap scum spread in all parts of the shower stall and no product seemed to make a difference.


The homeowners were understandably uncomfortable with the situation and wanted to find a solution as soon as possible. They both agreed that finding a hard surface specialist was the best option, so it was a relief for them to come across Sir Grout Sarasota. The couple didn't expect to be so lucky during their first Google search and from the information available on our website, our hard surface restoration services in Palmetto really seemed to have everything they'd been looking for. They explained the situation to one of our agents during a quick phone call and set up an appointment at the end. By the end of the day, the couple felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of their shoulders.

Just two days later, our techs visited their house right on schedule for an in-home evaluation. They inspected the shower thoroughly to get to the root of the problem. Most of the grout lines were stained, either from exposure to hard water or from mold that was stuck between the tiles. The ceramic tiles didn't look much better, with traces of soap scum running across most of the floor and parts of the wall. When the homeowners asked about it, our techs explained that traditional cleaners can harm unsealed grout in multiple ways. They can open the grout pores and keep the dirt trapped on top, while the chemicals in their formula are also harsh enough to prompt the discoloration of hard surfaces. There were many stains to deal with and portions of the grout needed to be repaired, but our experts confirmed that there was no lasting damage to worry about. Our professional equipment would restore the shower to its former beauty and protect its surface against future damage.

Following the couple's request at the end of the evaluation, our specialists returned to the home the next day for the shower's restoration. First, they soaked each part of the shower with a powerful cleaning formula and meticulously removed all the stains. This permeating cleaner simplified the process after getting the dirt loose and our techs completed the job by steam cleaning the stall.

Next, they got ready to work on the grout. The corner joints were restored with water-resistant epoxy grout. Our techs regrouted the most affected parts of the shower after detaching the loose caulk and the result enhanced the shower's durability against surface damage. For the grout lines on the floor and the walls, they recolored the surface with acrylic-based ColorSeal. Sir Grout's flagship sealant provides lasting protection so no dirt can seep into the grout.

This was the final touch to complete the shower's transformation. Our crew checked for any last-minute details before calling the client back into the bathroom but their work was done. The shower looked incredible and the couple couldn't be happier. They marveled at the grout's new look and praised the shower's elegant appearance, promising to recommend Sir Grout Sarasota to all their friends in Palmetto.

Before leaving their house, our specialists went over some of the steps homeowners need to follow for a successful cleaning routine. Their first recommendation was to replace generic cleaners with pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Combining high-quality ingredients for maximum effectiveness, our cleaner removes mold, mildew, soap scum, and other stains without weakening the sealant. It's also free of chemical elements so homeowners don't need to expose themselves to toxic fumes. Another recommendation was to wipe any pools of water and traces of soap left on the shower. Bathroom surfaces are constantly exposed to the effects of moisture buildup, so it helps to ensure that there's no dampness sitting around for hours on end. You can use a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to avoid scratching the ceramic as you remove the residue.

Good air circulation also helps prevent the spread of mold and mildew. It doesn't hurt to ensure that the bathroom gets a healthy amount of fresh air throughout the day and household chores are likely to be less demanding overall.
