Our Techs Used Their Grout Sealing Expertise To Revive This Shower Floor in Palm Bay

November 19, 2024

A homeowner in Palm Bay knew that he needed to fix the grout on his shower floor. Almost all the grout lines had absorbed mold, leaving unattractive dark spots between the tiles. Moreover, the homeowner kept finding new gaps in the horizontal seams, so he was very concerned about what this could mean for the shower's structural integrity.


The problem was beyond what regular cleaners could offer, and he was already disappointed after trying to remove the mold from the floor. Not long after deciding to contact a grout sealing service in Palm Bay, the homeowner came across Sir Grout Space Coast and became excited about possibly giving the floor a complete overhaul. The results in our picture gallery looked promising, so he figured that he had everything to gain from hearing what our experts had to say about the grout in his shower area.

A few days after the homeowner completed his request online, our experts visited his house to find a solution for the shower floor. They inspected the entire shower but soon realized that the grout on the floor showed the worst signs of wear and tear. The moldy spots on the grout made the floor look unhygienic, and the loose caulk only allowed more water to seep behind the tiles.

As our crew explained, the minerals in hard water can cause a lot of damage to unsealed grout, weakening the surface and creating the perfect environment for mold to thrive. Despite their popularity, traditional cleaners only add to the problem because most of the dirt gets stuck after the surface is covered with these products' soapy residue. The solution was a complete restoration service, including sealant and repairs to the seams. After hearing our techs' explanation and seeing them test their cleaner on the surface, the homeowner didn't hesitate to request a new appointment.

At his convenience, our specialists returned to the house the following day to work on the shower. To remove all the embedded dirt, they used a permeating cleaner before carefully scrubbing it off. Then, they vapor-cleaned the entire shower area to remove all traces of mold and mildew.

It was time to restore the grout on the floor. Our techs started by removing the loose caulk and regrouting the seams with our powerful epoxy solution. Our epoxy grout is waterproof and mold-resistant, keeping liquids from seeping behind the tiles and stopping issues that could cause structural damage later on.

The grout lines on the floor were sealed with our amazing ColorSeal, so they received the best protection to keep soap, water, mold, and other elements away from the pores. The client wanted the grout to have the same pearly color that made the floor so appealing, and our specialists had no trouble meeting his request.

At the end of the process, the floor looked beautiful, and the grout was completely restored. Thrilled with the result, the homeowner thanked our experts for their services and promised to tell more people about our work.

Before leaving the client's home, our techs shared some additional pointers to prevent damage to shower surfaces. When it comes to products, dozens of options are available in the market, but most of them do nothing to prevent the damage caused by moisture buildup on the grout. PH-neutral cleaners are by far the better option, which is why our experts always recommend using Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to clean showers and other bathroom surfaces. Our product does a thorough job where all the stickiness is removed in record time, so you don't have to mix different formulas when you need to get rid of mold, mildew, and soap scum. Moreover, there's no exposure to harsh ingredients or toxic fumes, so it's much easier to preserve the integrity of your grout for a long time.

Our specialists also recommended using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to remove the stains since there's no need to scrub too hard once our product gets the dirt loose on the surface. This, along with good ventilation, is essential to prevent the growth around the seams. Just remember to wipe out any pools of water on the shower floor and open the windows nearby to help the circulation of fresh air.
