A Shower Floor in Wayne Looks As Good As New Thanks to Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

September 12, 2024

In less than a month, a homeowner in Wayne had gone from stressing over not being able to keep his shower spotless to losing sleep over the shower floor. A large crack crossed the drain at the center of the floor, and he felt like more of the tiles fell apart each time he stepped into the stall. It was an evident safety hazard, so he started looking for reliable hard surface restoration services in Wayne. He wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.


His dedication paid off right away. From all the information he found online, Sir Grout of Greater Chester County met all the requirements he had, like positive reviews and years of experience in the field. He was even more convinced after seeing examples of our shower restoration services in our picture gallery. After a quick phone call with one of our agents, the homeowner knew the basics of the process and had a date for an in-home evaluation.

Our experts arrived at his house a couple of days later, as scheduled during the call. After exchanging greetings, the client led them to the bathroom and showed them the cracks on the shower floor. Our techs understood his concerns right away; the crack ran deep, connecting the two side walls and compromising all the tiles on the floor. Grout damage is fairly common on shower surfaces, and regular cleaning can make it worse if you expose the surface to harsh products. The minerals in hard water also play a part, especially when it comes to cement-based grout because a lot of liquid will be absorbed into the porous surface.

Luckily, our crew confirmed that they had the equipment to give the floor a makeover and make the grout more resistant to any external agents. The client was relieved when they explained the process and didn't hesitate to schedule a new appointment with our crew.

At his convenience, they returned a few days later so the restoration could be completed that same week. To start off the process, our techs prepared the shower area and soaked every surface with a non-toxic cleaner. They scrubbed off all the embedded dirt, particularly the mold on the seams, and vapor cleaned the entire stall to stop the growth of mold.

It was time to fix the damage to the floor. Our specialists carefully installed a new tile overlay and replaced the loose caulk with water-resistant epoxy grout. Thanks to its non-porous nature, our epoxy mix keeps its durability through hours of activity without absorbing soap, shower sediments, mold, or other liquids. It's the ideal solution to prevent structural issues in the long run.

The new layout looked pristine and matched perfectly with the shower walls, so the client was delighted. He thanked us for restoring the beauty of his shower, stating that he was relieved that he could use his shower without worrying about getting hurt.

While getting ready to leave the house, our crew shared some additional cleaning tips, and the client eagerly took notes of what they had to say. To prevent the damage caused by chemical ingredients over time, they recommended using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. You can tell that our product is different from the first try, because the dirt is removed more seamlessly. You don't have to endlessly scrub the same surface just to detach part of the stains, and cleaning an entire shower takes much less time. There's no risk of discoloration, and the sealant can protect the grout for much longer because your surfaces aren't constantly exposed to toxic chemicals.

Our second recommendation was to wipe out any residue with non-abrasive tools like a towel or a squeegee. It's normal to find pools of soap water on your floors after using the shower, but all that moisture can turn into a real issue if your shower doesn't get enough fresh air. That's why we suggest keeping bathroom surfaces dry and opening the windows to improve indoor ventilation.
