Our Specialists Revived a Shower in Tucson With Their Amazing Caulking Services

January 14, 2025

A homeowner never wants to see mold ruin the look of a beautiful shower, especially when following a strict cleaning routine. This was the case for a Tucson resident who hadn't felt comfortable with his shower's look for a while. The fact that multiple problems started appearing at once was particularly puzzling because he was consistent in his efforts to keep the shower hygienic for over a year, only trying new cleaners every couple of months.


Between the stains on the grout and the signs of deterioration on the corner joints, the owner was worried about risking permanent damage with new DIY methods, and he didn't want to tear down any part of his shower stall. Luckily, he reached out to our caulking services in Tucson on the same day he discovered Sir Grout Tucson online, and we immediately responded to his request.

Our techs visited his home a few days later, as per his request, after contacting us via the website's online form. The homeowner led them to the shower and listed the products he'd used during his cleaning routine when our crew asked about it. The shower wasn't severely stained, but the grout's discoloration was evident. All the grout lines on the floor and the wall had taken an unattractive orange shade, likely from exposure to minerals and soap scum. The main problem, however, was on the floor seams, where our specialists could see the gaps left as the grout grew loose.


Many homeowners expect to counter the effects of moisture buildup with chemical-based cleaners, but these products cause too many long-term problems. For one, they cause discoloration on tile and grout surfaces so that they won't counter hard water stains. They also leave a soapy residue that makes cement-based grout much more vulnerable to damage. The good news is that our professional restoration method can fix all these issues effectively. Our experts reviewed what they needed to do to revamp the shower, reassuring the client that there was no need to replace the tile layout in any part of the stall. Reassured by their assessment, the homeowner immediately agreed to their plan for the restoration.

Only a few days later, he welcomed our crew back into his house, and the process began immediately. Our experts deep-cleaned the entire shower with a non-toxic formula, removing all traces of efflorescence from the walls and the dirt around the sink. Then, they used a 275-degree vapor cleaner to address moldy spots on the corners and other harder-to-reach areas.

To restore the color of the grout on the walls, our techs applied Sir Grout's ColorSeal, a powerful sealant that's designed to ward off all sorts of external elements, including mold and soap scum. It's also available in multiple colors, so our specialists could perfectly recolor the grout to match the tiles.

It was time to address the damage to the floor and the seams. Our crew removed the loose caulk from the edges before carefully installing epoxy grout on the joints. Resistant to water and mold, this mix withstands all the effects of moisture buildup without coming apart, so homeowners don't have to worry about dirt and moisture seeping behind the tiles and compromising the shower's structure.

After applying tile sealant and double-checking the seams one last time, our specialists were ready to show the homeowner the result. He was delighted with the shower's appearance and loved how the newly restored grout transformed every surface.

There's no shortage of soap-based cleaners in the market, but these products can only do so much when it comes to embedded dirt in high-traffic areas. pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are far more reliable because their properties will not open the grout pores to new stains. Our cleaner also helps you keep a safer environment because it doesn't release toxic fumes into the air each time you clean your shower. Preserving the natural color of your bathroom surfaces is less of a struggle, and homeowners can enjoy the result for much longer.

Shower surfaces often look neglected despite getting all the care they need, which has a lot to do with your cleaning equipment. That's why, besides introducing pH-neutral cleaners, our team also recommends using non-abrasive tools like a towel or a terry cloth. Remember that these tools should be washed regularly, or you'll only transfer dirt from one surface to another.

Last but not least, we stress the importance of properly ventilating all bathroom areas to avoid the worst effects of moisture buildup. You don't even need a high-end ventilation system; just make a habit of opening the windows and doors every day to significantly improve your cleaning results.
