Our Specialists Revamped This Shower in Easton With Their Grout Sealing Services

September 12, 2024

After weeks of failed cleaning attempts, a homeowner in Easton, CT, wanted to find a solution for his shower as soon as possible. He'd always been careful to avoid exposing the stone tiles to harsh treatment, but that also meant that he couldn't start trying random DIY tips when the dirt began spreading across different parts of the shower stall.


Many of his friends agreed when he expressed these doubts and someone went one step further and recommended letting a professional take care of the problem. This is when the homeowner was introduced to Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County and our grout sealing service in Easton. From all the things he'd heard, he expected professionalism and high-quality restoration services, and our website's content definitely matched the idea he'd formed in his mind.

The homeowner read through different sections of our website and perused our picture gallery before finally filling out the form to get in touch with our crew.

At his request, our experts went to his house a few days later for an in-home evaluation and he led them to the shower stall as soon as they arrived. There, our techs evaluated every surface and checked the grout to rule out the chances of structural damage. The darkest stains spread from one of the walls to the floor, where the grout took an unsightly dark brown color.

The homeowner was worried about the effects of generic cleaners on the stone tiles, so our techs reassured him that there were no lasting problems to worry about. Still, they did confirm the harmful effects that soap-based cleaners have on shower surfaces. These products often help the accumulation of dirt because they create a foamy film that makes it harder to detach the dirt from the grout pores. Between that and the corrosion caused by hard water, shower surfaces can lose their beauty surprisingly quickly if they don't have the right protection.

The solution was to deep clean and seal all shower surfaces since it's impossible to avoid their exposure to moisture. Our experts offered to return later in the week to work on the shower and the owner jumped at the chance right away.

On the scheduled date, they returned to his house with all the necessary equipment. Once they prepared the shower area, our techs spread a pH-neutral cleaner on every surface and meticulously worked through all the stains, scrubbing off the residue by hand after letting the product sit for a few minutes. To complete this part of the process, our crew also steam cleaned the entire shower stall from top to bottom.

At that point, they could start working on the grout. Our specialists made some minor repairs on small portions of the seams and started sealing all the grout lines inside the shower stall. They used Sir Grout's ColorSeal to guarantee long-term protection against mold, water, soap, and other external elements, and the result was a sight to behold.

All the grout lines perfectly matched the color of the stone, making the shower look more beautiful and sophisticated. To complete the process, our team applied stone sealant on the floor and the walls, and they called the client into the room so he could check out the result. After seeing the shower's new look, he had nothing but praise and promised to recommend our services to more people in the area.

Before leaving the house, our techs went over some additional cleaning tips. They started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners to avoid the discoloration of natural stone surfaces. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner delivers amazing results in much less time because it permeates harder-to-reach surfaces to help you remove the most stubborn stains.

To prevent the growth of mold and mildew, our experts recommended looking into the room's ventilation since bathroom surfaces often don't get enough fresh air to withstand the effects of moisture buildup. They also told the client to make a habit of wiping any dampness sitting on the floors after using the shower, preferably with a towel or a squeegee to avoid scratching the tiles.
