Porcelain has unique properties. It has a less porous surface, making it excellent for showers where water is an issue. They are both functional and attractive, and they may give any shower a sophisticated and elegant appearance. Porcelain tiles can change from gorgeous and elegant to dirty and unsightly over time if not properly cared for. This was the issue with this customer's shower.

Before and After Porcelain Shower Grout Recoloring in Wilmington, De
His once-splendid shower had become dingy. Due to moisture absorption and cracking grout, the shower's grout lines were discolored, and the threshold was crumbling. The homeowner was concerned and realized he needed to act quickly before the damage became irreparable. To clean his grout, he attempted several DIY methods he discovered online, but the results were disappointing. The situation had gotten out of hand.

He couldn't think of anything else to do, but he remembered his best friend had a similar issue and asked her how she solved it. Fortunately, his best friend was a client of ours, and she advised him to look us up. He took his friend's advice and went online to look for information about us. He came across our Wilmington Grout Recoloring services among the top results and immediately went to our website, read the testimonials, and set up a free evaluation.

Most homeowners have no idea how to clean their tile and grout lines correctly, so they turn to the internet for DIY remedies that employ common household items like vinegar or cleaning solutions that contain strong chemicals like muriatic acid. The problem with these products is that they are acidic, and instead of restoring the tile and grout to its original state, they deteriorate and dissolve it.

When our team arrived at the client's home in Wilmington, DE, they evaluated the shower in order to decide the best course of action for restoring it. Our experts decided on a multi-step procedure. They started by deep cleaning the shower to remove all of the dirt, they only used pH-neutral products and a high-speed machine scrubber to clean the grout lines. After that, they employed vapor steam cleaning to remove grime and stains from difficult-to-reach areas.

After cleaning the shower, they applied ColorSeal to seal the grout lines on the shower walls and floor. ColorSeal is a water-based, non-toxic sealant that revitalizes grout lines by giving them a uniform color. It also protects the grout from water, stains, mold, and mildew, reducing the amount of time people spend cleaning their floors. Then, they used an epoxy-based ColorSeal mix to seal the seams on the porcelain walls and floor. This sealant is specifically designed to endure humid environments. Finally, our techs applied Litokol epoxy grout to fortify the shower's expansion joints. The use of this epoxy-based grout mix will act as a preventative measure against future water damage.

The owner was very pleased when he saw the results. Since everything appeared to be in order, he was delighted. He told our lead tech that his shower looked even better than when he initially bought the house. Before our team left, the owner assured our lead tech that he would recommend Sir Grout Delaware to everyone he knew.

Shower upkeep is a difficult task for many homeowners. Due to frequent wear and tear, these surfaces deteriorate gradually. Sir Grout's instructions must be followed to keep these difficult places in top condition. We recommend establishing a weekly cleaning schedule. Make sure to use only soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product delivers outstanding outcomes. It is non-toxic and safe for use by all members of the household. Soap-based cleaners and substances with acidic properties are not recommended. These products include harsh chemicals that can cause stains or discoloration on the surface.

Mold and mildew are harmful fungi that can quickly become a health issue for everyone in the house. To avoid this problem, make sure the shower is well-ventilated and dry. Leave the door ajar or the window open to allow fresh air in. After you've finished showering, use a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag to dry the surface. Squeegeeing on a regular basis is also one of the most effective ways to keep dirt and grime at bay.
