A Homeowner in Oceano, CA, Has a Perfectly Restored Shower Thanks to Our Grout Sealing Process

February 06, 2024

Grout is a porous material and will absorb dirt, grime, and other elements, losing its original color. In many cases, darkened and unappealing grout can't be restored with standard cleaning methods, requiring professional help. Our client from Oceano, CA, had a similar issue with her shower. Even with regular cleaning, the grout lines still looked dirty and unsightly.


After trying other methods that didn't work, she decided it was time to seek professional assistance. While she was searching, one of her friends recommended our grout sealing services in Oceano, California, saying we had done an excellent job restoring his floors earlier this month.

Following her friend's suggestion, she visited our website and was happy to find all the information she needed. She read a few of our blog posts and browsed our picture gallery, which gave her the confidence to fill out our online scheduler to request a free evaluation on a day and time that was most convenient for her.

As always, we arrived on time, in uniform, and in our Sir Grout vehicle on the inspection day. We quickly assessed the issues the owner was concerned about in her shower and noticed the grout wasn't adequately sealed, which had contributed to the staining, discoloration, and decay.

After discussing our assessment with the owner, we suggested the best solution to restore the surface. We recommended our grout cleaning and sealing service using Sir Grout's proprietary products because they are the safest, most advanced products on the market. We told her we would address the damage, color seal the grout to revamp its color, and ensure the surface would be protected for a long time.

We gave her a no-obligation quote outlining the work we would perform. The homeowner also wanted to change the color of the grout, so we gave her 20 different color options. She found one that she loved and immediately requested to schedule the job on a future date and time that was convenient for her.

We returned to restore the shower on the appointed day and time. After preparing the area with clear plastic and masking tape to ensure it was protected while we worked, we set up our equipment and started our multi-step process, letting the homeowner know we were available to answer all her questions.

First, we cleaned the surface using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive cleaner. We explained to the client that our product uses high-quality ingredients that wouldn't leave a residue or damage the shower's surface.

Next, we used a vapor steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. When the grout was spotless, we repaired decaying and damaged grout to ensure a beautiful, consistent appearance.

Finally, we sealed the grout lines with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal, a high-quality product that protects against dirt, water, stains, and other damage. In addition, it reduces wear and tear, making it easier for the homeowner to maintain.

During our assessment, we already explained to our client that ColorSeal stands out because it gives grout a uniform color and a completely revitalized appearance, improving the surface tenfold. In addition, our large variety of colors almost always ensures we have a color to match the original color of the grout, or many homeowners choose to change it to give a new look to their surfaces.

After cleaning up, we met with our client and showed her the results. The owner was thrilled to see the restored surface and said her shower looked perfect. She was very happy with the outcome and thanked us for a job that exceeded her expectations, promising to recommend our services to family and friends with similar hard surface-related issues. She also mentioned he would leave a five-star review to ensure others knew about Sir Grout's outstanding products and services.

Before leaving, we gave the homeowner some recommendations and helpful tips for maintaining her shower. We suggested a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. We told her it delivers remarkable results, and because it's non-toxic, it won't harm anyone in her household, including pets.

We also suggested she avoid using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that damage the surface and leave a residue that often seeps into the grout, causing discoloration, staining, and other issues.

Since mold and mildew are a potential threat in damp environments, we emphasized the importance of taking measures to help prevent their growth. We suggested keeping the area well-lit when possible, providing a source of fresh air by leaving a door or window open, and, after using the shower, drying surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
