Our Experts Revamped a Shower in Wilmington With an Impressive Grout Sealing Service

May 06, 2025

Most of the time, a homeowner in Wilmington, DE, felt very satisfied with the look of her master shower. White ceramic spread from the ceiling to the bathroom, with a splash of color running across the walls. The entire combination added a touch of cheer without reducing the shower's natural elegance, but the owner knew that a bit of soil was all it took to ruin the effect.


For this reason, she took it seriously when her cleaners couldn't remove some of the mold on the grout. Most of the white surface still looked intact, but the dark spots drew much attention around the bathtub and some walls. The owner wanted to do something before the problem became harder to control, so she contacted a grout sealing service in Wilmington, DE. Luckily, Sir Grout of New Castle County had everything she'd hoped to find at the beginning of her search, so she gave us a call after reading through our website to learn more about our shower restoration process.

On the scheduled date, our crew visited her house for an in-home evaluation, and the owner gave us a warm greeting before taking us to the shower area. The stall had a stylish, pleasant design, but the moldy spots on the corners made it look unhygienic despite the owner's efforts to stop the spread of dirt. Since she'd called us as soon as she noticed the embedded mold, there was no structural damage to take care of, but the grout was still unprotected against external elements.


We offered to clean the shower deep and to apply sealant to all the grout lines, stating that it's hard to keep the dirt off unsealed grout for long. The owner was entirely on board with the plan, so she scheduled a new appointment after asking some questions about the products we used for the restoration. Our experts reassured her there would be no exposure to toxic ingredients, so the homeowner felt confident about her decision after our first visit.

Following her request, our specialists returned to the house later that week with the necessary equipment to restore the shower. Once inside the bathroom, we spread a permeating cleaner across each part of the stall and carefully scrubbed off the dirt that was stuck between the white tiles. Our crew steam cleaned the entire shower area with a 275-degree vapor cleaner to address the mold on the corners and around the tub.

After a few minor repairs to reinforce some horizontal seams, we applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the walls until they looked as pristine as the rest of the ceramic surface. Because our sealant provides lasting protection against external elements, grout surfaces don't get stained by stale water, soap scum, or mold, and homeowners can complete their cleaning sessions more efficiently.

We showed the client the result as soon as we were done, and she was in awe. The white ceramic glowed like never before, making the colors on the walls look all the more vibrant. She remarked that our services had given the shower a unique, high-end look and promised to praise our skills to everyone she knew.

At the end of the appointment, our experts shared some additional tips to simplify household chores in the most challenging parts of the house. First, we stressed the importance of using pH-neutral products to clean tile and grout surfaces. Formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner don't have any of the acidic imbalances that trigger corrosion on porous surfaces over time, so they remove all the embedded dirt without trapping parts of it under a foamy residue. Our cleaner is effective against mold, mildew, efflorescence, and other stains, so homeowners don't struggle to clean their showers and other high-traffic areas like the bathroom floor or kitchen counter.

Our techs also listed the right tools to remove the dirt more effectively without subjecting the ceramic to harsh treatment. We suggested using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to wipe out the stains after letting our cleaner sit for a few minutes, reassuring the client that the task would be much easier to complete, even on harder-to-reach areas like the corner joints and the grout near the ceiling.

Lastly, we recommend checking the air quality inside all bathroom areas since poor indoor ventilation significantly spreads mold and mildew. Opening the windows and doors can be a simple way to improve your indoor environment and encourage fresh air circulation around the house.
