A Shower in Farmington Shows the Amazing Quality of Our Caulking Services

June 25, 2024

A homeowner in Farmington was far from pleased with the appearance of his shower stall. He knew that all the embedded mold was a danger to the shower's hygiene but, after trying different cleaners for weeks, he didn't know how to go about the issue without risking more discoloration to the tiles.


It was disappointing to see all his efforts end in nothing, but the homeowner was set on bringing back the shower's former beauty. He went online looking for professional assistance and discovered Sir Grout Hartford not long after. He was amazed by our picture gallery and eager to get similar results on his shower, so he filled out the online form to get in touch with our caulking services in Farmington.

A few days later, our experts visited his home, right on schedule for an in-home evaluation. They observed all the stains on the shower stall and checked the grout for signs of structural damage. Sadly, mold and efflorescence lessened the tiles' beauty and made the shower look rundown and neglected. Our techs explained that traditional cleaners only make things worse once the sealant fades from the grout.

These products have harsh ingredients that add to the corrosion caused by hard water, opening the grout pores and keeping the dirt stuck to the surface. The best way to deal with the problem was by restoring all shower surfaces with Sir Grout's professional equipment. Our crew didn't hesitate to offer their services and the client took the chance after clearing some doubts about the process.


Following his request, our techs returned later that week. They were led to the bathroom once again and immediately prepared the shower area. When everything was ready, our specialists meticulously cleaned every part of the shower, including the grout lines around the smaller tiles on the floor. To do this, they used a surface-safe cleaner that got the dirt loose on the surface, along with a 275-degree vapor cleaner to eliminate all traces of mold.

Next, they installed epoxy grout on the angle joints where most of the damage was located. Our epoxy solution is resistant to water, mold, and other external elements, on top of being much less porous than cement-based grout. Our experts also sealed the grout on the walls and the floor with acrylic-based sealant to ensure lasting protection against new stains. Sir Grout's ColorSeal withstands hours of activity around high-traffic surfaces, while keeping water, mold, mildew, and soap scum away from the grout.

By the end of the process, the shower looked incredible. There were no dark stains hiding its rich shades of brown and all the grout lines had the same white color to balance things out. The client was in awe when he saw the result and he promised to recommend our services to his friends and family in Farmington.

These are the recommendations our techs shared with the homeowner after the restoration. They reminded the client of the risks of constantly exposing shower surfaces to chemical-based cleaners and introduced pH-neutral formulas as the perfect alternative. Products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner improve your cleaning results because they combine only the right ingredients to preserve tile and grout surfaces. As such, our product gets the dirt loose in minutes, working about stubborn stains without opening the grout pores to other external elements. Thanks to its unique composition, our cleaner doesn't subject hard surfaces to harsh ingredients and you won't risk exposing yourself to toxic fumes.

Our crew also recommended to scrub off any stickiness with non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. This will also make it easier to reach narrow spaces like the corner joints and the horizontal seams. Our last recommendation is to make sure that the bathroom area is properly ventilated; this will reduce the chances of mold and mildew and make your indoor spaces more hygienic.
