Our Grout Sealing Crew Revamped This Beautiful Shower in Palm Bay

November 25, 2024

A Palm Bay resident was stressed and frustrated by the lack of progress in his cleaning routine. He was serious about the hygiene of his bathroom surfaces, so the dirt on his shower felt like a particularly low blow after years of diligent care. The homeowner suspected the sealant had weakened from the grout, but he was still surprised by the shower's deterioration, particularly on the floor and the horizontal seams.


He found Sir Grout Space Coast after searching online for grout sealing services in Palm Bay. From what he read on our website and social media, our experts could be trusted with his shower surfaces, so he didn't have to think too hard before scheduling an in-home evaluation with our crew.

Our experts arrived at his house on the agreed-upon date to inspect the shower. During the evaluation, they observed the layer of efflorescence that spread from the seams to the tiles on the wall. The grout in most of the floor was yellowed by mold and the minerals in hard water since, as the client had suspected, the sealant had faded almost entirely from the grout's surface. This also meant that the shower joints were vulnerable to structural damage, and our experts weren't surprised when they discovered areas where the caulk had gone loose.

They went over the problem with the client and explained their restoration process, offering to return to the house at the client's convenience. The homeowner thanked our crew and immediately accepted their offer.

Our team returned to the house a few days later, reading their equipment to start working on the shower. To remove all the stains and marks left between the tiles, they soaked every surface with a non-toxic formula before steam cleaning the entire stall. Next, our experts repaired the damage to the seams, removing the old caulk and installing epoxy grout on the corner joints. They also regrouted some parts of the floor to keep the grout from absorbing water and soap scum.

It was time to seal the grout, so our crew went through each grout line with our signature ColorSeal. This powerful sealant keeps external elements away from the grout pores, and its protection stays on the shower for months. It represents the perfect solution to preserve grout surfaces in high-traffic areas.

Each of these steps led to an incredible transformation. The shower went from looking soiled and dull to exuding beauty from all sides. The clean grout highlighted the tiles' soft color, and the seams showed no damage. Needless to say, the homeowner loved the result and praised our techs for delivering such fantastic services.

At the end of the appointment, our specialists shared some helpful cleaning pointers with the client. When he asked about the best alternative to replace generic cleaners, they immediately listed the benefits of pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is designed to provide maximum cleaning power and none of the side effects that make generic cleaners so harmful. It gets the dirt loose in a minute, so you can clean large surfaces more effectively with no soapy residue left between the tiles. Its non-toxic composition also ensures you don't have to deal with toxic fumes after cleaning; children and pets can be safer, and your living spaces aren't contaminated with chemical odors.

Our next tip was to use a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to remove the most troublesome stains on the seams and the shower floor. Moisture buildup harms a shower's overall hygiene and makes way for many pesky stains, so you need the right tools to wipe out all the stickiness without scratching the surface.

Between that and good indoor ventilation, shower surfaces can stay dry longer, with no risk of mold and mildew on the corner joints. Our techs explained that a weekly cleaning routine, along with a healthy circulation of fresh air, is enough to prevent many instances of grout damage.
