Our Crew Made a Shower in Queens Look Amazing With a Grout Sealing Process

October 11, 2024

A homeowner in Queens was desperate for a solution after weeks of fighting the discoloration of his shower grout. Moisture and sediments had yellowed all the grout lines from the ceiling to the tub, ruining the appearance of the white ceramic surface. Moreover, the homeowner could tell that the grout had deteriorated after absorbing so much liquid.


Since he didn't want to risk causing structural damage with random DIY tips, he started looking through different grout sealing services in Queens. It wasn't long before he realized that there was no competition: Sir Grout Queens checked all his boxes, and he couldn't imagine trusting anyone other than our hard restoration crew. He'd meticulously read through various sections of our website before reaching out via our contact form, and everything went smoothly from there.

At his request, our specialists visited his house two days later for an in-home evaluation, arriving in an identified vehicle that the client recognized right away. Inside the bathroom area, they took note of all the areas where the grout had started cracking, making way for soap and the minerals in hard water. All these factors had created the perfect environment for mold to thrive, and regular cleaners only added to the damage despite the homeowner's best intentions.

The solution was a complete shower restoration service, including the necessary repairs to the joints and sealant to the grout on the walls. Our experts explained the entire process to the client, and he was immediately excited by the possibility of enhancing the protection of his grout surfaces. He scheduled a new appointment, and our techs agreed to return before the end of the week for the restoration.

On the agreed-upon date, they arrived with everything they needed to work on the shower. They began by spreading a non-toxic cleaner on the walls and the tub to help scrub off the dirt more effectively. Our specialists also steam cleaned the entire shower stall so no traces of mold remained between the tiles.

When they were ready to repair the grout, our techs regrouted the corner joints with our waterproof epoxy solution, a mix that's both mold-resistant and waterproof to prevent the worst effects of moisture buildup. Then, they applied ColorSeal to the grout lines on the wall, successfully restoring their original color to match the tiles. On top of being available in multiple colors, our sealant provides lasting protection against external elements, so grout cleaning brings more satisfying results.

The entire shower looked spotless, from the tiles on the walls to the ceramic tub and the seams. It was everything the client had hoped for and more, and he praised our crew's expertise after admiring the shower stall from all sides. He also promised to recommend our grout sealing services to more people in the area.

The client asked about ways to counter the effects of hard water during his everyday routine, so our techs gave him a series of useful recommendations. They started by introducing pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, a high-quality formula that removes more dirt in less time without exposing hard surfaces to corrosive ingredients. Unlike bleach and soap-based cleaners, our product adds to the protection of the grout because it doesn't wear down the sealant over time. It's also free of toxic fumes, so homeowners can use it freely without worrying about contaminating their living spaces.

Our second recommendation was to make a habit of wiping any liquid residue sitting on the shower, like pools of water or traces of soap between the tiles. A towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee is the best option to do this because you can catch more dirt without damaging the tiles in the process.

When it comes to ways to counter moisture buildup, our techs recommended leaving the bathroom door ajar during the day to boost the circulation of fresh air. Opening the windows also helps ensure that all parts of the house are properly ventilated.
