Our Grout Sealing Experts in Ridgewood Restored This Bathroom and Gave the Surface Long-Lasting Protection

December 20, 2019

A homeowner from Ridgewood, NJ needed our assistance. While cleaning her tile bathroom, she noticed the condition of the surface didn't improve. The tiles and grout looked dirty and unappealing. She was not pleased with this situation, so she decided to look for a quick solution. The owner tried some DIY cleaning routines she found online. Unfortunately, after spending time and effort mopping and brushing, there were no positive results. Frustrated by the negative outcome, she considered her options and decided to hire professionals.


Thankfully, one of her friends recommended Sir Grout Northern New Jersey. He told her our Ridgewood Grout Sealing service was the best in town and suggested visiting our website to get more information. She followed his advice and visited our site. Everything she saw and read about us convinced her we could help. She filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free evaluation.

Following the in-home consultation request, we visited her house to assess the bathroom. The first problem we noticed was the dingy appearance of the tiles. There were other issues as well. The grout had accumulated dirt, grime, and soap residues, acquiring a dark, unsightly color. Because of this, the entire surface looked dirty. As the evaluation continued, we learned the grout lines needed sealing. We explained that grout is a vulnerable component and can absorb all sorts of external agents, leading to deterioration. It was necessary to address this issue to prevent future damages. When we finished the inspection, we concluded that regular cleaning methods wouldn't provide the solution the owner wanted. The restoration required Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We proposed a grout sealing service to give the surface a breath of new life and a long-lasting protective coating. The owner accepted the offer and hired us.

We returned to the house a couple of days later with everything we needed to perform the grout sealing job. To begin the process, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is pH-neutral and offers many benefits, including an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi for an extended period of time after application. For the following step, we used a steam cleaner to remove any embedded dirt. Once the surface was spotless, we repaired the grout lines using professional tools. Since the corners were badly damaged, it was necessary to re-grout them.


For this task, we replaced the old grout with a resilient Litokol epoxy solution. Unlike regular grout, this product isn't porous and has a durable composition. It's ideal for showers because it's resistant to mold and mildew. For the final step of the restoration, we sealed the grout lines using Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our top of the line sealant offers unmatched protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, reducing deterioration from daily use. ColorSeal also improves the surface by giving the grout a brand-new appearance. It comes in a wide range of colors, allowing the owner to match the tiles with the grout. In this case, the homeowner chose travertine color grout.

When we finished the job, the bathroom had no issues and the tiles looked like new. Our client was beyond thrilled with the results. She was very happy because the process had been fast and efficient. She thanked us, saying our performance surpassed all her expectations. Satisfied with our job, our client assured us she would recommend Sir Grout Northern New Jersey to everyone she knew. She even asked us to come back at a later date to restore two more bathrooms in her house.

Bathrooms receive heavy wear and tear. As a result, surfaces can deteriorate quickly. For this reason, we always provide our customers with recommendations for optimal maintenance procedures. We suggested cleaning the bathroom regularly using only soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product doesn't leave residues and won't cause any damage to the tile. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house. It's best to avoid soap-based cleaners and substances with acidic properties. These products can produce negative effects because they are harsh and leave residues that seep into the grout lines. This can lead to issues like mold and mildew growth, giving the surface an unsightly appearance. To reduce the accumulation of dirt and grime, we recommended setting up a weekly cleaning routine.

Keeping the bathroom well-ventilated and dry is essential to prevent fungi growth. We recommended leaving the door ajar or a window open. This allows moisture to flow freely. After using the shower, dry the surface with a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag. Squeegeeing is a great option for keeping surfaces spotless.
