A Shower in Queens Looks Incredible After Our Tile Sealing Service

December 29, 2024

Mold and mildew are a constant source of headaches for many homeowners, particularly when it comes to maintaining shower surfaces. A shower sees far more moisture than other parts of the house and is exposed to soap residue daily. Mold thrives in damp environments, and that's why you can usually find it on shower seams and corner joints.


This was a significant source of stress for a homeowner in Queens, NY. He knew that his shower surfaces needed to be re-sealed as parts of it got completely covered in mold, from the corner joints to most of the floor grout and even parts of the ceramic tiles. It is evident that a professional tile sealing service in Queens would provide better results than any store-bought product, so the homeowner started looking for options online.

That's how he found Sir Grout Queens learned more about our services while reading some of our blog posts. He decided to schedule an appointment with our specialists, and our agent was happy to meet his request during his phone call later that day.

On the agreed-upon date, our techs visited his place for an in-home evaluation. The client gave them a rundown of the problem before taking them to the shower area. Thick layers of mold were visible all over the grout, giving the shower a particularly unhygienic appearance. The floor and the corner joints were the most affected areas, but all parts of the shower had suffered some degree of discoloration from hard water and soap residue.

After struggling with his shower maintenance for months, the homeowner wasn't surprised when our specialists listed all the harmful side effects of chemical-based cleaners. The effect was obvious on the grout since the sealant had completely faded, leaving the porous surface vulnerable to moisture and damage. The best course of action was Sir Grout's standard restoration package, so our crew explained each step of the process to help the homeowner make an informed decision.

He requested a new appointment for the restoration, and our techs returned to the house a few days later for the job. First, they soaked the floor and walls with a surface-safe cleaner and scrubbed off the dirt as it grew loose. They also used a 275-degree vapor cleaner to remove all traces of mold from harder-to-reach areas like the corner joints.

The next step was sealing the grout, so our specialists carefully applied ColorSeal to the grout lines, making their way from the floor to all sides of the shower. Our sealant is designed to withstand months of moisture, so it's the ideal solution to keep the dirt at bay in high-traffic areas. Its protection works against mold, mildew, soap scum, grime, and even UV rays, so it's perfect to simplify a homeowner's cleaning routine.

Then, our techs installed epoxy grout on the seams to fix the damage where the caulk had gone loose before applying tile sealant on the rest of the ceramic surface. This ensured that all parts of the shower had high-quality protection against the worst effects of wear and tear. The client was thrilled with the result and praised our crew for making his shower look amazing.

Before leaving the house, our experts shared additional cleaning tips to help preserve the shower against wear and tear. Tile and grout surfaces can withstand many elements, but the wrong cleaners can cause lasting damage. The best alternative to deal with these problems is by using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Hard surfaces can be exposed to our cleaner as often as needed without risking discoloration. PH-neutral products are free of harsh ingredients and won't contaminate your home with toxic fumes, so they're the ideal solution to clean residential spaces.

Our team also recommended being careful while wiping out old stains because it's not rare for homeowners to scratch the tiles without realizing it. With the right cleaners, marks can be removed without scrubbing too harshly, but it also helps to use non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee.

To prevent moisture buildup, we reminded the client to wipe out any pools of water and leave the door ajar at different points of the day to encourage fresh air circulation. The client found all the recommendations beneficial and promised to spread the word to more people in the area.
