Sir Grout's Experts in Wharton, NJ Gave This Shower a Brand-New Look Thanks to Their Caulking Services

February 24, 2020

Keeping showers in good condition can be troublesome. Our next client, a housewife from Wharton, NJ contacted us because she was struggling with the maintenance of her shower. In spite of her regular cleaning routines, the surface looked dirty and run-down. The grout lines were full of dirt and the caulking around the tub was badly damaged. The owner was not pleased with this situation, so she used some cleaning tips she found online. Unfortunately, her efforts didn't provide the solution she expected.


After considering her options, she decided to hire professionals. As she was searching for a hard surface restoration company, she heard about Sir Grout Northern New Jersey from a friend. She called us, explained the situation, and asked for a free in-home consultation. With our Wharton Caulking Services, our experts fully restored her shower and gave the surface an enhanced appearance.

Following her request, we arrived at her house to inspect the shower. We noticed the grout lines had accumulated dirt, grime, and soap residues. The caulking around the tub also suffered damage and had an unsightly appearance. We continued the evaluation and learned the surface needed sealing. Unsealed grout can absorb all sorts of external agents, leading to deterioration and more issues. Keeping the surface sealed is essential to prevent damages. When we finished the assessment, we concluded that regular cleaning methods wouldn't provide the solution the owner was looking for. We proposed a caulking service to remove the damages and restore the surface with a new look. The owner was pleased with the offer and hired us.

As scheduled, we returned to restore the shower. We began the process by cleaning the surface using Sir Grout's exclusive cleaner ad a high-speed scrubber. Our cleaner is pH-neutral and offers many benefits. It doesn't contain any harsh agents and has an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi for an extended period of time after application. When the surface was spotless, we performed the grout repairs. After restoring the grout lines, we used a steam cleaner to remove any embedded dirt. For the following step, we addressed the damaged caulking around the tub.

Since the caulk was in poor condition, we replaced it with a long-lasting epoxy solution. Unlike regular caulking, the epoxy variation has a resilient composition. It's ideal for showers because it isn't porous and resistant to mold and mildew. After re-caulking the tub, we sealed the grout lines with, ColorSeal. Our flagship sealant wards off dirt, grime, and all other external agents. It also gives the grout an improved appearance and a vibrant new color. It comes in a wide range of colors, allowing the owners to match the tiles with the grout. When we finished all the steps, everything looked perfect.

Our client loved the results of the restoration. She couldn't believe the renewed appearance of the surface. Impressed by the quality of our job, she told us our performance had surpassed all her expectations. After thanking us, she assured us she would recommend Sir Grout Northern New Jersey to her friends, family, and neighbors. She even took the time to leave us an excellent review on Yelp:
Caulk is a vulnerable component that can deteriorate over time. When it is badly damaged, the best option is to remove it and replace it. To minimize wear and tear, it's necessary to follow proper maintenance procedures. We recommended setting up a regular cleaning routine. When performing this task, use only soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product doesn't leave residues and it's made with high-quality ingredients. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house. It's best to avoid using soap-based cleaners and substances with acidic properties.

These products can cause damage because they are harsh and leave residues that seep into the grout lines. This can produce negative effects on the surface and lead to more severe issues like mold and mildew growth. To reduce accumulation of dirt and grime, squeegee the surface after using the shower.

Mold and mildew can become a serious problem in showers. To prevent fungi growth, we recommended keeping the area well-ventilated and dry. Allow the moisture to flow freely by leaving the door ajar or a window open and always dry the surface using a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag.
