An Old Shower Now Looks Better Than Ever Thanks to Our Monroe Hard Surface Restoration Services

January 31, 2022

A homeowner from Monroe, NC, had a problem with one of the surfaces in her house. Over the years, her shower had received constant daily use, and suffered heavy deterioration. The condition of the surface had decayed greatly, and taking showers was no longer an enjoyable experience. This situation was not ideal for the owner and she wanted a quick solution. However, her options were limited because she was too busy with work. After some consideration, she decided to look for professional assistance. Thankfully, Sir Grout Charlotte provided the assistance she needed.


The owner found us with a quick internet search. She went online and typed Monroe Hard Surface Restoration Services on her search engine, and the top results led her to our website. After browsing our picture gallery, and reading the positive testimonials we have received, she called us, explained the issue, and requested a free assessment.

We accepted her request, and a few days later, we arrived and provided the in-home consultation. Since the owner was expecting our visit, she quickly led us into the affected shower. As we entered, we noticed the surface had an unsightly appearance. The caulking in the joints was severely damaged and the grout lines were full of dirt. With closer inspection, we learned the surface needed sealing. We explained it was essential to apply a special sealant to prevent further deterioration.


The thorough evaluation gave us the information we required to offer a solution. We had concluded regular cleaning methods wouldn't work, so for an effective restoration, it was necessary to use Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We offered our hard surface restoration services to get rid of all the problems and give the shower a refreshed look. To prove the efficacy of our process, we briefly tested our products on the surface. After seeing the remarkable results, the owner immediately hired us.

The restoration began as scheduled. After preparing everything we needed, we proceeded with the multi-step process. First, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is pH-neutral, doesn't leave a residue, and offers many other benefits. It loosens the soiling and our machine scrubs it out. Once the shower was spotless, we continued with the grout repairs.

Depending on the damage, cleaning grout can be difficult, a time-consuming chore many homeowners would like to avoid. When this vulnerable component is cracked or stained, common methods become ineffective. Nevertheless, we know exactly what to do to fix all these issues. We painstakingly worked on the entire shower, re-grouted the floor, and gave the grout lines a complete renovation. After that, it was time to address the caulking.

Since the joints were in poor condition, it was necessary to replace the caulk. For this process, we used a resilient epoxy solution. Unlike regular caulk or grout, this product isn't porous and has a durable composition. It's ideal for showers because it's resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. It also makes cleaning routines easy and fast. For the final step of the restoration, we followed with the sealing process.

After selecting the requested color, we applied a coating of Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our top-of-the line-sealant provides unmatched protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, reducing deterioration from daily use. ColorSeal greatly improves the surface by giving the grout a brand-new appearance. It comes in a wide range of colors, so our clients can choose to match the tiles with the grout. Our work was successfully finished, all the issues were gone, the surface was fully revamped, and the shower looked amazing.

With our goal achieved, we called our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the renewed appearance of the surface. She was beyond thrilled because her shower now looked better than ever. After thanking us, she told us our performance was impressive, and before we left, she assured us she would contact us for other projects she had in mind.

Showers endure heavy wear and tear, and because of this, surfaces can suffer quick deterioration. For this reason, we always take time to give our clients useful recommendations for optimal maintenance procedures. To minimize the accumulation of dirt and grime, we suggested establishing a weekly cleaning routine. Perform this chore using only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner.

Our product is made with high-quality ingredients and provides excellent results. It's non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. Avoid using soap-based cleaners because they leave a residue that seeps into the grout lines. This contributes to decay and can cause several issues like stains or discoloration. We don't recommend cleaning solutions with acidic properties either. These substances contain harsh agents and chemicals that can be harmful to the surface.

To prevent threats like mold and mildew, it's necessary to keep the area well-lit, ventilated, and dry. After using the shower, provide a source of fresh by leaving the door ajar or window open, and dry the surface using a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth. Squeegeeing regularly is also one of the best ways to keep the surface clean.
