This Shower Floor in Bryn Mawr Shows the Quality of Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

July 30, 2024

A homeowner in Bryn Mawr was set on giving his shower a makeover after dealing with soiled tiles for almost a year. Despite all his efforts, there was a marked contrast between the shower walls and the floor, caused primarily by a recurring leak that left the floor tiles in a poor condition. The homeowner knew that the damage called for a thorough restoration process, but he worried about the time it would take and the possibility of getting subpar results.


He decided to look for local restoration companies and decided to conctact Sir Grout of Greater Chester County soon after finding our website online. Having read as much as he could about our hard surface restoration services in Bryn Mawr, he then gave us a call to ask some follow-up questions and our agent assisted him as he scheduled an appointment to have his shower inspected.

On the agreed-upon date, our crew went to his house for an in-home evaluation, as always wearing Sir Grout's logo on their uniform. The homeowner recognized them right away and welcomed them into his home, where he went into the problems he'd noticed on the shower floor. During their assessment, our techs confirmed that a lot of water had seeped behind the tiles, putting the shower's structure at risk. Between that and the soap scum that spread across the tiles, the floor didn't look its best.

Our specialists explained that a new tile overlay would be the most effective solution in the long run. They went over the process with the client and reassured him that it could be completed in a single session, so he didn't hesitate before scheduling a new appointment.

The next day, our techs returned to his house with all the necessary equipment. They quickly prepared the shower area and deep cleaned every surface to remove all traces of mold and mildew. 275-degree vapor steamer also helped the process, especially on the shower seams where much of the dirt was stuck.

Then, they carefully applied a new tile layout that the client had chosen in advance and installed a layer of epoxy grout on the floor. This waterproof mix brings the most powerful protection against soap residue and leaks because it doesn't have the drawbacks of cement-based grout. It's not porous and works as the perfect barrier to preserve a shower floor for years.

The new floor suited the shower like a glove and the client couldn't be happier. He took his time admiring the surface and thanked our specialists for doing such an outstanding job. As he'd expected, our work brought life back to the entire shower area, making it it look beautiful and pristine.

At the end of the appointment, our experts shared some tips to help the client's cleaning efforts. To prevent the damage caused by soap and chemicals, we recommend using only pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Generic products wound up harming tile and grout over time, corroding the surface and opening the pores to moisture, minerals, dirt, etc. By contrast, our product doesn't cause any negative side effects while improving maintenance all around. It removes embedded dirt more efficiently and doesn't release toxic fumes into your bathroom spaces.

Our techs also reminded the client that steel wools may scratch the tiles, prompting serious structural issues as the marks increase. The best way to remove residue is with a towel or a squeegee, as long as the tools are properly washed beforehand. Lastly, a damp environment is more likely to show signs of decay, so we always remind clients to open the windows and doors in areas where mold is a constant issue.

A soiled shower not only looks bad, it can also be the cause of accidents and health hazards.
