A Shower in Bear Looks Stunning Thanks to Our Top-Tier Caulking Services

April 07, 2025

Most homeowners know the stress of dealing with a soiled shower, so you can imagine what it's like to see parts of your shower fall apart despite all the maintenance. A Bear resident was shocked to find large cracks running across different parts of her shower during one of her cleaning sessions. She'd noticed some areas where the grout had gone loose and did her best to counter moisture buildup on the seams. Still, she never expected those issues to cause so much damage quickly.


She couldn't trust DIY solutions for this, and she hoped to find a solution that didn't require tearing down the tiles on the walls. Luckily, she found our website after starting an online search and was instantly impressed by our caulking services in Bear. The homeowner had heard good things about Sir Grout of New Castle County over the years, so she had no doubt about contacting us after her research, knowing that she could trust our experts with the assessment of her shower.

Per her request, we visited her house for an in-home evaluation a few days later, always wearing Sir Grout's standard uniform. The owner immediately welcomed us inside and explained the problem before leading us to the bathroom.

While she worked hard to keep all shower surfaces spotless, the damage to the grout was severe. The most enormous crack crossed the grout above the ceramic bathtub, forming an extensive horizontal line running through the two main walls. There were also signs of damage on all the corner joints, risking the tub from all sides.

The homeowner was concerned, but our specialists confirmed that we could repair all the damage without altering the tile layout. We gave her a step-by-step rundown of our shower restoration process, and she gratefully accepted our offer to complete the job later.

So, our tech returned to her house a few days later, on the agreed-upon date for the restoration. We prepared the shower area carefully and started spreading a permeating cleaner on every surface. After letting the product sit for a few minutes, our specialists vapor cleaned the shower stall and scrubbed off the residue, including any trace of mold, mildew, and soap scum.

By then, we were ready to make the central repairs on the walls, so we installed epoxy grout from the corner joints to the large crack above the bathtub, repeating the process around the tub's edge. Unlike cement-based grout, our powerful epoxy solution withstands the worst effects of wear and tear without absorbing moisture over time. There's no better way to preserve the shower's structure while enhancing the joints' durability.

For the last step, our specialists sealed the grout on the rest of the walls with Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our signature sealant provides all the protection you could ask for because it wards off water, soap, mold, and other external agents that would typically leave a permanent mark on the grout.

The process was a complete success. In a few hours, we had the shower looking stunning, with no hint of damage in any part of the grout. The homeowner marveled at the result for a long time, admiring the tile layout and praising our team for the quality of our grout restoration service.

With the restoration complete, we were ready to put away our equipment, but first, we shared some additional tips with the client. Our techs explained that regular cleaners are a constant source of stress for homeowners because they wind up trapping the dirt on porous surfaces like ceramic tile and cement-based grout. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is an improvement on all ends because it leaves no soapy residue to keep the dirt stuck to the grout. Its effectiveness surpasses most generic products by a landslide. Our cleaner quickly removes the stains caused by soap, the minerals in hard water, and even the stickiness left by mold and mildew. Like most pH-neutral formulas, it's also free of toxic fumes, so your chores are much safer for you and your family.

We also recommended wiping out any pools of water left on the bathtub, preferably with non-abrasive tools like a towel or a squeegee. Good indoor ventilation helps prevent foul odors and mold growth around the corners. That's why opening the windows and doors is also a simple way to fight the effects of moisture buildup on bathroom surfaces. You might need fresh air to keep your shower looking as good as new.
