Our Caulking Services in Arlington Saved This Homeowner's Shower From Further Deterioration

March 21, 2022

It's difficult to keep a shower spotless. A homeowner from Arlington, VA, discovered this the hard way. She tried to keep her ceramic shower clean on a regular basis, but she soon realized that wasn't enough. Despite trying different cleaning methods, the shower, particularly the grout lines, remained dirty.


She decided to call professionals, since she didn't want to have her shower looking like that. Sir Grout Washington DC Metro was recommended to her by one of her co-workers. He was an old customer who happily recommended our Arlington Caulking Services, claiming that we had done an amazing restoration in his house. She followed his recommendation and after a quick search online, she went to our website to learn more about us. She was impressed by our before and after picture gallery and the positive reviews we had. By filling out the "Request a Quote" form, she asked for a free in-home consultation.

We returned to the homeowner's house a few days later to examine the ceramic shower and offer a possible solution to her problems. The grout lines had discolored and had become unattractive. Grout collects dirt, grime, and soap residue, so this is a common occurrence. The caulking had deteriorated as well. Damaged caulk should be removed and replaced as soon as possible.

We also discovered that the surface needed to be sealed. To avoid further harm, it is critical to address this issue. Following the evaluation, we concluded that standard cleaning procedures would not yield the desired results. Sir Grout's skilled approach and high-end equipment were necessary for the restoration. To repair all of the damage and give the shower a new look, we offered our caulking services. The owner hired us for the job since she was satisfied with our proposal.

Soon after the in-home consultation, we returned to conduct the restoration. We began by cleaning the surface with our special cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is pH-neutral and has a number of advantages. It loosens the soiling, which our equipment then scrapes away. Following that, we used a steam cleaner to remove any remaining filth. We continued with the grout repairs when the shower was completely clean. Using professional diamond saws, we methodically worked on the entire surface until all of the flaws were restored. The next step was replacing the caulk.

We applied a special epoxy solution to provide long-lasting effects. Unlike normal grout or caulk, this solution is not porous and provides long-lasting protection. Because it's mold and mildew resistant, it's perfect for showers. Finally, we used Sir Grout's ColorSeal to seal the grout lines. Our top-of-the-line sealer provides unsurpassed protection. It effectively resists dirt and filth while also reducing signs of wear and tear on the surface. ColorSeal significantly improves the surface's look by providing the grout a uniform color and a new appearance. When we were finished, the shower was fully restored and it looked great.

Our efforts delivered outstanding results. The shower's beautiful appearance impressed our client considerably. She was excited because the job had been completed on schedule. She conveyed her appreciation by mentioning that our work exceeded her expectations and that she would refer Sir Grout Washington DC Metro to her family.

People take showers on a daily basis and maintenance can become difficult. Following our advice is the most effective method to keep these troublesome areas in top shape. We suggested creating a weekly cleaning routine. Only use pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner for best results. Our product is produced with high-quality components and leaves no residue behind. It's non-toxic and pet-safe. Soap-based cleaners should not be used since they leave a residue that can penetrate the grout lines. This can cause quick degradation as well as more significant consequences, like structural damage. Acidic cleaning products should be avoided as well. Some cleaners contain abrasive components that can damage the surface.

To minimize mold and mildew formation, the shower must be well ventilated. Allow air to flow freely by leaving the door ajar or the window open. Use a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag to dry the surface. Squeegeeing after each shower is one of the most effective ways to keep dirt at bay.
