Our Fort Myers Grout Sealing Experts Gave This Run-Down Shower a Wonderful Makeover

August 28, 2020

A Fort Myers resident needed Sir Grout's professional assistance to restore her shower. Over the years, the surface had suffered heavy deterioration. Because of this, she was struggling with maintenance. The owner tried regular cleaning routines, but despite her best efforts, the condition of the shower didn't improve. Determined to solve the problem, she used some DIY methods she found online. Unfortunately, nothing worked.


Thankfully, one of her friends was a loyal Sir Grout SW Florida client. He immediately recommended our services and advised her to contact us as soon as possible. Following his suggestion, she went online to find more information about us on our website. After thoroughly browsing our site and reading all the positive feedback from our satisfied customers, she was convinced we were the best option. She called us and requested a free in-home consultation. Our Fort Myers Grout Sealing experts provided the solution she was looking for, and now her shower looks amazing.

Shortly after the owner's request, we arrived to assess the condition of the shower. We immediately noticed the grout was dirty and the tiles were covered in soap scum. This problem occurs when bar soap residue reacts with the minerals in the water. When it hardens on the surface, it forms ugly stains. As the evaluation continued, we learned the grout lines needed sealing. We explained that common grout is a porous mixture and can absorb external agents, which leads to quick deterioration and more issues. To prevent future damages, it's necessary to keep this vulnerable component fully sealed. When we finished the inspection, we concluded regular cleaning methods wouldn't provide an effective restoration. This job required Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We proposed a grout sealing service to address the damages and give the surface resilient protection with our sealers. The owner was happy with the offer, so she decided to hire us.

When we returned, we were ready to begin the restoration. For the best results, we followed a thorough procedure. We began by cleaning the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is pH-neutral, doesn't leave residues, and it's made with top-quality ingredients. After applying the cleaning solution, we got rid of the soap scum stains with a special stain remover. Once everything was spotless, we proceeded with the grout repairs. To accomplish this task, we used high-end diamond saws. After painstakingly working on the entire surface, all the issues were gone. When we finished the repairs, we were ready for the sealing process.

For the grout lines, we used Sir Grout's flagship sealant ColorSeal. Our top of the line product is ideal for showers because it reduces deterioration from daily use. With unmatched defense, it wards off dirt, grime, and prevents mold and mildew growth. ColorSeal also improves the surface by giving the grout a revamped appearance and a uniform color. On the shower's floor, we applied a coating of SilTanium. This special sealer added an extra layer of protection and offered slip resistant properties. When we finished, we achieved a complete restoration, the shower looked great, and the surface was ready to endure heavy wear and tear.

Our client was extremely happy with the grout sealing service. She was pleased because the job had been fast, efficient, and cost-effective. After thanking us, she said our performance had surpassed all her expectations and assured us she would recommend Sir Grout SW Florida to everyone.

Shower maintenance can become a difficult chore. These surfaces receive constant use and over time, the deterioration can be severe. Following Sir Grout's recommendations is the best way to keep this challenging area in top condition. We suggested setting a regular cleaning routine. For this task, use only pH-neutral soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike regular store-bought products, our cleaner won't cause any damage and offers many benefits. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We don't recommend using soap-based cleaning solutions or substances that contain acidic properties. These products are harsh, leave a residue, and can harm the surface.

Mold and mildew can pose a health hazard for everyone. To keep fungi at bay, it's necessary to decrease the levels of moisture. We recommended keeping the area dry and well-ventilated. After using the shower, leave the door ajar or window open. To dry the surface, use a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag. Squeegeeing regularly also helps to reduce the accumulation of dirt. Bar soap residue can turn into nasty-looking stains. Using liquid soaps provides a safer alternative that leaves no residue, effectively preventing this problem.
