This Shower Floor in Fort Myers Received All the Benefits of Our Grout Recoloring Process

October 04, 2024

After weeks of struggling with the discoloration of his shower, a homeowner in Fort Myers was ready to make changes in his cleaning routine. The products he'd been using before that point usually managed to remove the largest stains from the ceramic tile surface, but they'd always been lackluster when dealing with the embedded dirt on the grout. The homeowner tried replacing them with other formulas he was familiar with, but that did nothing to solve the problem. All the grout lines on his shower floor were soiled with mold and grime, so he decided to get a professional's informed opinion before deciding on what to do next.


The homeowner was drawn to Sir Grout SW Florida from the moment he started his search. Our online profile showed a level of expertise that he hadn't seen in any of the other companies he found online, and all the positive reviews added to that impression. When he read about our grout recoloring service in Fort Myers, he didn't hesitate to fill out the form and schedule an in-home evaluation.

A few days later, our specialists arrived at his house to inspect the shower. They immediately saw the discoloration on the floor, where the grout's color had gone from beige to dark brown in a matter of weeks. There were also traces of soap scum on the tiles, making the large floor look dull and unattractive. The grout pores had absorbed many of the minerals in hard water after the sealant's protection faded, so the stains couldn't be scrubbed off with regular means.

Our techs also explained that regular cleaners make household chores that much harder for homeowners. While there's no shortage of chemical-based products on the market, most of these formulas have acidic imbalances that will damage tile and grout surfaces after regular use. That's why the homeowner didn't see much different whenever he switched cleaners. The solution was using Sir Grout's professional cleaning equipment on the floor before applying acrylic-based sealant to preserve the grout's color for a long time. The homeowner agreed with our techs' offer and asked them to return at a later date for the restoration.

Following his request, our techs came back to the house before the end of the week and got to work right away. Before restoring the floor, they deep cleaned the entire shower stall with a surface-safe formula and a 275-degree vapor cleaner. They got rid of all traces of mold between the tiles and the film of soap residue that sat on the floor.

Next, our crew started recoloring the grout to make it match the ceramic's pearl color. They used our flagship ColorSeal, a powerful sealant that's designed to withstand moisture and traffic for a long time, warding off mold, mildew, grime, soap residue, and other external elements.

The entire process had the floor looking spotless in record time, and the homeowner was speechless when he saw the shower's elegant appearance. Thanks to our recoloring job, tiles and grout had the same color, so nothing drew attention away from the floor's beauty. The homeowner praised our crew for their work and promised to recommend our services to more people in Fort Myers.

While getting ready to leave the client's home, our techs shared some useful pointers to improve routine cleaning and maintenance. They knew that a strict cleaning schedule could still result in damage to the grout, particularly due to the use of chemical-based cleaners, so their first recommendation was to replace them with products with pH-neutral formulas. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner has all the benefits to optimize your residential cleaning routine, improving the maintenance of high-traffic surfaces like showers and bathroom floors. Without subjecting the grout to harsh ingredients, our product removes efflorescence, mold, grime, and other common shower stains. It saves you a lot of time and removes the risk of discoloration because its permeating power doesn't affect the sealant's protection on the grout.

As our specialists described at the end of their visit, an effective cleaning routine includes pH-neutral formulas and non-abrasive equipment to prevent scratch marks while scrubbing off the dirt. You can use common house appliances like a towel or a terry cloth, and all you have to do is wash your tools before trying them on a new surface. Lastly, be sure to keep all bathroom surfaces properly ventilated to prevent the effects of moisture buildup. No amount of scrubbing will stop the growth of mold if the leftover water from your shower is left sitting in a stuffy room.
