Our Amazing Caulking Services Restored the Beauty of a Shower in Brier

May 09, 2025

For weeks, a homeowner in Brier had tried to stop the discoloration of her shower surfaces, but the products at her disposal couldn't do much to fight the problem. Her master shower combined different-colored tiles and a pristine white bathtub to leave a lasting impression. Unfortunately, the owner couldn't ignore the grout's yellow color and constantly worried about the shower's overall hygiene. Moreover, the horizontal seams looked particularly unsteady, to the point that there were gaps in many parts of the grout.


The owner was ready to give her shower the best care, but she knew that this problem required the knowledge of a hard surface professional. When she came across Sir Grout Seattle on social media, she was excited about getting the assistance she needed, so the owner went on to look for our website online before reading more about our caulking services in Brier. Then, she filled out the website's contact form to get in touch with our crew, and we visited her house only a few days later to inspect the shower.

We spotted the problems on the grout right away, from the wall's obvious discoloration to the damage around the seams. Hard water and efflorescence had slowly chipped away at the grout's sealant, so the discoloration spread quickly from all sides. Meanwhile, the caulk on the corners had started to fall apart, leaving more room for moisture to seep behind the tiles.

The homeowner was worried about having to tear down parts of the shower, but our techs reassured her that we could make the necessary repairs without altering the shower's layout. We described each step of the restoration, and by the end of our explanation, the homeowner had decided to schedule a new appointment for the restoration.

On the appointed date, our team was back at the house working on the shower. We started by removing all the embedded dirt with the help of a surface-safe cleaner. The mold on the seams needed a lot of care, so we also used a 275-degree vapor steamer to ensure a thorough process on those narrow surfaces.

The second step was the grout's restoration. Our crew carefully removed the old caulk and installed epoxy grout around the bathtub to enhance its resistance to water and mold. Unlike cement-based grout, our epoxy mix keeps liquids from seeping into its surface, so there's no moisture gathering behind the tiles. This means that homeowners have less trouble preventing the growth of mold and the spread of bad odors around the seams.

Next, we recolored all the grout lines on the walls with our flagship ColorSeal. This way, our techs removed all signs of discoloration and left the wall looking spotless from all angles. Moreover, our acrylic-based sealant brings lasting protection to keep the dirt away from the grout pores, protecting against water, mold, soap scum, and more. It's the perfect solution to simplify routine cleaning while improving the end result.

As expected, the homeowner loved the result, gushing over the walls' new look and praising our crew's restoration skills. She also promised to recommend our services to her friends and relatives in Brier and thanked us for delivering the most satisfying results.

Our techs had additional recommendations to share, so we went over the best products and steps to improve routine cleaning before leaving the client's home. To get optimal results while removing dirt from shower surfaces, we recommended using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Combining high-quality ingredients to match the demands of residential bathroom surfaces, our cleaner removes common stains without exposing ceramic, stone, and grout surfaces to harsh chemicals. This also means that homeowners don't have to worry about toxic fumes affecting them or other household members. You can complete routine cleaning in record time without mixing different products, and the process is all the more effective when you avoid steel wools and other abrasive tools. This is why our techs always recommend using a towel or a squeegee to wipe out any leftover soap scum.

When it comes to preventing the effects of moisture buildup, our main recommendation is to keep the air from becoming stale inside your bathroom areas. If your ventilation system isn't enough to prevent mold in certain parts of the house, you can always open the windows and doors for a few hours, and this will encourage the circulation of fresh air.

You can make your shower look as good as new without risking the deterioration of your grout.
