Our Crew Transformed a Shower in Picture Rocks with Their Outstanding Caulking Services
June 30, 2024
Shower surfaces may collect a lot of dirt in only a few days. This is common for many households, even when homeowners put all their efforts into keeping a hygienic environment. Case in point, a homeowner in Picture Rocks was disappointed when all his cleaning efforts failed to remove the stains on his shower. To top it all off, he also suspected that the floor seams had taken more severe damage after looking closely under the embedded dirt.![Tile Shower Before and After Our Caulking Services in Picture Rocks](/pictures/pages/93/shower-picture-rocks-caulking-services.jpg)
This concern was the push he needed to start looking for professional caulking services in Picture Rocks. He knew he couldn't let the problem sit for long and wasn't confident in the tips he'd found online. Luckily, he found Sir Grout Tucson not long after and the results in our picture gallery increased his enthusiasm for learning more about our shower restoration methods.
So, the homeowner gave us a call to learn more about the process and our agent provided all the information he needed. He also scheduled an appointment before ending the call and got confirmation that our crew could visit his house the next day.
As expected, our techs arrived less than 24 hours later to evaluate the shower stall. After exchanging greetings with the homeowners, they were led to the bathroom and immediately started their inspection. Overall, the shower stall had an unflattering look due to the discoloration on the grout. Almost all the grout lines had taken a yellowish shade that made it look unhygienic even after hours of scrubbing. Our team explained that the minerals in hard water may corrode hard surfaces to discoloration, with chemical-based cleaners only adding to the problem. The seams and some grout lines on the floor needed to be re-grouted, so our specialists offered to return before the end of the week to give the shower a complete overhaul. Thankful for their offer, the client set the date after our techs completed the evaluation.
They returned a few days later to work on the shower. First, our techs prepared the shower area with masking tape and clear plastic. To clean all the surfaces, they applied a permeating cleaner to all the walls and floors and scrubbed off the dirt as it got loose. They also steam-cleaned the shower stall to remove all traces of mold and mildew between the tiles.
Our specialists re-grouted the seams with a powerful epoxy solution for the next part of the process. Unlike cement-based grout, our epoxy mix doesn't absorb all the shower liquids because its surface is much less porous. This makes it the best option for maintaining your bathroom surfaces.
Then our crew applied ColorSeal to the grout lines on the wall, providing the same high-quality protection against water, soap scum, mold, etc. All the grout lines perfectly matched the tiles' color, giving the shower a soft, welcoming look. The client was delighted with the result and promised to tell more people in Picture Rocks about our shower restoration plan.
Our techs had some additional tips to share at the end of their visit. They told the client this: Instead of exposing shower surfaces to the side effects of regular products, pH-neutral formulas can remove more dirt in less time. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is the ideal solution to improve your cleaning results because it combines the best ingredients to simplify things without causing discoloration or grout damage. Our product works against common stains caused by efflorescence, mold, mildew, and more, so you can get the desired result without mixing different products. This also means there's no need to contaminate your shower area with toxic fumes, making our product a safer alternative for your household.
We recommend following a weekly cleaning routine with pH-neutral cleaners and non-abrasive tools to keep the dirt from growing out of control. While steel wools are known for leaving scratch marks on the tiles, a towel or a terry cloth will help you work more comfortably and remove more stains at a time.
Our final recommendation was a general reminder to open the windows and the bathroom doors. Bathroom surfaces are more prone to showing the effects of moisture buildup; surfaces are damp for longer, and the air becomes stale faster than in other parts of the house. A constant source of fresh air can be all you need to stay on top of this problem. Your surfaces will keep their brand-new look for longer, and you won't feel overwhelmed during routine cleaning.
