A Shower in Santa Ana Looks Gorgeous After Getting Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

June 02, 2024

It's not easy to keep the best hygienic conditions when you can't stop the spread of mold and mildew. This is a common problem on shower surfaces, but a homeowner in Santa Ana had managed to avoid it for years after the last time she'd had the grout sealed. Sadly, soap and hard water started leaving their mark, and the shower started losing more of its beauty with each passing day.


The homeowner had no interest in trying different cleaners after his first attempts did so little to remove the stains, so he went online looking for answers. Soon enough, he found Sir Grout Tustin and one look at our website immediately made him want to learn more. He read all he could about our hard surface restoration services in Santa Ana before giving us a call to ask some questions about our restoration method. Our agent was happy to give him detailed information, and by the end of their chat, the homeowner knew that he'd found the right place.

Following his request at the end of the phone call, our specialists headed to his house the next day for an in-home evaluation. The homeowner greeted them as soon as he saw our logo on the vehicle and gave them a rundown of the problem. Inside the bathroom, they inspected the shower stall before ruling out the chances of structural damage. The seams needed regrouting after having absorbed water and soap for weeks; the rest of the grout lines were only hidden under traces of mold and mildew. The floor and parts of the wall also looked worse for wear as efflorescence spread across the tiles.

As our techs explained, generic cleaners couldn't do much about the stains since they were far more likely to keep external agents trapped on the porous surface. The solution was a deep cleaning service followed by the necessary repairs to the damaged grout. Our crew also offered to seal the grout lines on the floor and the walls so they could stay spotless for much longer, and the client was fully on board with the plan. He requested a new appointment for the restoration and our experts promised to return a few days later with all the necessary equipment.

On the scheduled date, they didn't waste time once they were back inside the client's bathroom. They prepared the shower stall with clear plastic and masking tape and started cleaning every surface with a permeating cleaner. Our techs scrubbed off the residue as our product got the dirt loose and vapor-cleaned the entire shower area to ensure a thorough result, with no traces of mold left between the tiles.

Next, they meticulously removed the old caulk from the seams and regrouted the area with a water-resistant epoxy mix, strengthening the corner joints against the effects of moisture buildup. To ensure the same protection on the rest of the grout, our specialists used our flagship ColorSeal, an acrylic-based sealant that preserves the grout's porous surface against mold, mildew, efflorescence, grime, and more. Because our sealant is available in multiple colors, our techs were able to meet all the client's preferences; they made the grout match the ceramic on the walls and used a white color on the floor to create a nice contrast with the different shades of brown on the tiles.

Now that they'd completed another successful restoration, our crew let the client assess the result. He loved the shower's new look and took his time admiring every part of his shower stall after thanking our techs for their service.

At the end of the appointment, our experts shared some additional pointers with the client. Their first recommendation was to use only pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Bleach and other traditional products create more problems while doing a lackluster job of removing the embedded dirt. By contrast, our product provides maximum cleaning power, so homeowners don't need to mix different formulas just to get rid of the stains. A cleaning routine including pH-neutral cleaners and non-abrasive tools like a towel or a squeegee can do wonders to improve your cleaning results.

To prevent the growth of mold and mildew, our techs recommended opening the bathroom doors and the windows nearby. Sometimes, all you need is to improve indoor ventilation before you start making progress against the effects of moisture buildup. This is essential for bathroom surfaces and an important step to simplify a homeowner's cleaning routine.
