Discover How Our Caulking Services Restored This Tile Shower in Houston

November 19, 2025

Maintaining bathroom surfaces can be a real headache, partly because many popular cleaners end up contributing to the deterioration of tile and grout surfaces. A homeowner in Houston knew that something wasn't working in his cleaning routine, given the amount of effort it took to get the dirt off his shower. Still, he was caught entirely off guard when his shower grout started falling apart, seemingly out of nowhere.


Well aware of the risks associated with DIY solutions, the owner decided that hiring a hard surface restoration company was the best course of action. He found Sir Grout Houston soon after making this decision, and our website promptly introduced him to our caulking services in Houston. From the stories in our testimonial section and the results in our picture gallery, the homeowner felt like he could trust our team's assessment. Hence, the prospect of requesting an in-home evaluation felt more appealing the more he thought about it.

That same day, he contacted us via phone call, and our agent answered all his questions before helping him pick a date for a visit. As scheduled, our technicians visited the client's house before the end of that week, and he immediately informed us of the problem.

From the moment we began inspecting the shower, it became clear that the damage couldn't be repaired with regular cleaning products. Cracks appeared in many parts of the shower, starting with a significant dent that extended around the horizontal seams on all sides. As a result, debris accumulated around the seams and on the bathtub floor, further detracting from the shower's already unsightly appearance.

Of course, we didn't hesitate to offer our services after evaluating the extent of the damage, and we reassured the client that Sir Grout's specialized equipment would quickly remove the soap scum from the walls before the restoration. Beyond that, we needed to regrout the seams and seal the grout lines on the sides, in addition to some repairs to the tub's ceramic surface. The client listened attentively to what our crew had to say and immediately asked us to come back at a later date to revamp the shower.

So, our specialists returned to his house only a couple of days later, on the appointed date for the job. We carefully prepared the shower area by removing all debris and then used our permeating cleaner to eliminate the embedded dirt. During this step, we also vapor-cleaned the shower stall and scrubbed off the residue, including all traces of mold, mildew, and soap scum that had come loose along the way.

After repairing the tub, we removed the old caulk and installed epoxy grout around the bathtub, repeating the process on the wall corners and the vertical seams for good measure. Thanks to our epoxy solution, you can effectively avoid water damage because nothing seeps into the surface. You won't have to deal with the downsides of cement-based grout, and it becomes much easier to prevent structural problems later on.

Then, our experts sealed all the grout lines on the walls until they matched the color of the tiles. Our signature ColorSeal provides all the protection you could ask for; it wards off water, soap, mold, and other external agents that would typically cause permanent stains. There's no better way to preserve your grout and simplify your cleaning routine.

Needless to say, the homeowner was thrilled with the result. He admired her shower area and praised our team's skills after seeing the grout on the seams. He also promised to call us back whenever he needed professional assistance with maintaining tile and grout surfaces.

These are the tips we shared with him at the end of our visit: Our techs started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner after going over the different side effects of traditional products like bleach and soap-based solutions. With our cleaner, you can have your shower looking spotless in minutes because it removes mold, mildew, soap scum, and other elements without subjecting your surfaces to harsh ingredients.

This means that there's no corrosion to the grout or discoloration on ceramic tile surfaces. You can complement the sealant's grout protection while keeping a safer space, with no toxic fumes contaminating your bathroom area.

We also tell clients to avoid using steel wools and other abrasive tools. A clean towel or a squeegee will remove dirt more effectively without scratching the tiles in the process. The scratch marks left by sharper equipment can easily become larger and deeper over time, which is why it's crucial to select the right tools for your weekly cleaning sessions.

Lastly, we reminded the owner to check the grout inside his bathroom area in case it needed re-sealing. If water seeps into the porous surface, the sealant has likely begun to fade. Foot traffic and moisture buildup can eventually weaken the sealant's protection, which is why we recommend sealing the grout every two years.
