Our Hard Surface Restoration Services Were the Solution To Revive This Shower in Annapolis

August 27, 2024

What do you do when diligent cleaning and the best hygiene habits can't keep your shower from looking soiled? This was a constant source of worry for a homeowner in Annapolis as he tried to keep the effects of moisture buildup from wreaking havoc on his shower floor. Traces of efflorescence were visible all over the stall and the grout on the floor started to fall apart as a result.


Regular cleaners couldn't fix a cracked grout, so the homeowner began looking for hard surface restoration services in Annapolis. He read through different online profiles for good measure, but Sir Grout Annapolis stood out from the get-go. Each review he came across spoke of our crew's expertise, and he got a similar impression just from looking through our website.

The homeowner decided to give us a call to hash out the details of a visit, and our agent was happy to assist him. A few days later, our techs arrived at his house to evaluate the shower, as requested. They went through every inch of the shower stall, checking the grout for structural damage and trying their cleaner on some of the stains. Beyond the obvious discoloration, there was a stickiness that only helped the accumulation of dirt. This had likely been caused by the minerals in the water and the residue left by soap-based cleaners. Most of the damage affected the grout on the floor, so our techs offered to regrout that part of the shower and seal the grout lines on the floor after cleaning the entire surface. The homeowner thanked them for their assistance and asked them to come in a couple of days for the restoration.

On the agreed-upon date, our experts were back at the house with all the necessary equipment. They prepared the area and soaked every surface with a permeating cleaner to eliminate the embedded dirt more effectively. They also vapor cleaned the entire shower stall to remove all traces of mold and mildew.

To repair the grout on the floor, our specialists removed the loose caulk and installed waterproof epoxy grout on the entire surface, making their way around every tile. Then, they revamped the grout on the walls with our acrylic-based ColorSeal. This winning combination would keep external elements and substances off the grout and ensure a cleaner shower on a day-to-day basis.

As expected, the homeowner was fully satisfied with the shower's new look. Nothing overshadowed the different shades of beige on the tiles and the entire stall exuded elegance from all sides. The client was relieved to know that he could count on us if he had similar problems in the future and he promised to tell more people about our hard surface restoration services.

Let's go over the recommendations that our techs shared at the end of their visit. As shown by the shower's earlier state, the damage caused by soap and moisture can go beyond superficial stains, which is why using the right cleaners can save you many headaches down the line. We always recommend using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner since they remove all the dirt more effectively and reduce the exposure to chemical ingredients. You can deep clean your bathroom surfaces in less time and get much better results, especially when you compare our product to bleach and homemade solutions.

We also recommend taking some simple steps to prevent the accumulation of moisture in different parts of your bathroom area. Shower surfaces are more likely to get soiled if you leave any pools of soap water sitting around, so it helps to remove any dampness with a towel or a terry cloth. Good indoor ventilation also helps, either from your home's ventilation system or from the fresh air coming from the windows.
