Discover How Our Caulking Services Revamped This Shower in Newton Center

October 01, 2023

A homeowner in Newton Center was fretting as her master shower lost all its charm. The weeks leading up to our in-home evaluation involved a lot of trial and error, with the homeowner trying different products and tools to remove the dirt from between the tiles and inside the bathtub. Still, all shower surfaces kept looking dirtier, and the situation took an alarming turn when the homeowner discovered several cracks running along the shower joints.


She seemed to find new issues with each new attempt to clean the shower, so getting the assistance of a professional company quickly became the most practical approach. In the meantime, the shower's condition had become unbearable, with stains ruining all the white surfaces on the walls and the tub. Her sister had hired our services in the past, so it was no trouble for the homeowner to get our contact information and find Sir Grout of Greater Boston online. She reached out to our tile and grout cleaners in Newton Center via our "Schedule a Free Quote" button, and our crew went to her home a few days later.

During the inspection, our specialists assessed all shower surfaces while describing the cause of the problem to the homeowner. Basically, chemical cleaners had eaten the sealant on the grout lines, which resulted in layers of mold gathering along the walls and shower corners. More notably, there was sediment embedded into the shower tiles and the bathtub floor, leaving large stains that made the shower look old and unhygienic. The restoration would involve several steps, from eliminating all the ingrained elements to repairing the loose caulk and sealing all the grout lines. The client listened to our specialists' assessment and agreed to schedule a new appointment for the restoration.

On the agreed-upon date, our techs came back to her home and got to work. First, they thoroughly cleaned all shower surfaces with a high-quality, pH-neutral cleaner. Our product is the most effective solution to remove stains that have been embedded for a long time. It loosens the dirt in minutes and helps you remove all the residue without excessive scrubbing. Following this, our techs applied a polishing compound to remove rust and sediment from the walls and the tub. They also steam-cleaned the whole shower area to enhance its long-term protection.

For the next step, our techs removed the loose caulk from the seams and replaced it with a resistant epoxy grout, increasing its durability against liquids and wear and tear. Then, they sealed all the grout lines on the walls with our flagship ColorSeal. This unique sealant wards off liquids and common shower elements like soap scum, mold, mildew, grime, etc. It's also available in multiple colors so homeowners can keep their grout beautiful at all times.

The client was endlessly pleased when she saw the shower's final look. The tiles looked smooth and shiny, and their vibrant color gave the shower area a nice, modern touch. Meanwhile, the tub was spotless and its pristine surface matched perfectly with the white grout lines on the wall. After all household members took turns admiring the shower area, the client thanked our specialists and promised to tell her friends about our surface restoration services.

Before leaving the client's home, our specialists shared some useful cleaning pointers. They recommended cleaning the shower surfaces and other household spaces with a pH-neutral product like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This cleaner's formula combines the most effective ingredients to eliminate all the stains in less time, and it's free of chemical components that could risk cracks or discoloration. Our techs also told the client to use a towel or a squeegee to wipe off any leftover stickiness. Tile can get easily scratched when you scrub too roughly. Lastly, our techs reminded the client not to leave pools of water or product residue sitting on her bathroom surfaces for too long as these elements can prompt the appearance of mold and mildew later on.
