A Shower in Arlington Received Top-Tier Caulking Services from Our Professional Crew

September 05, 2025

For weeks, a homeowner had noticed the deterioration of his shower, but he was unsure what to do. He knew of different DIY methods to keep the water from seeping into the seams, but none of these options provided a long-term solution to the main problem: the shower seams had sustained a lot of damage, and dirt would spread if the surface didn't get the necessary repairs.


Around this time, the owner came across Sir Grout of Greater Boston on social media, and all the glowing reviews made him curious about our caulking services in Arlington. So, he visited our website and read as much information as he could before checking out picture gallery. That same day, he decided to request a visit via our contact form.

On the scheduled date, we arrived at the client's house for an in-home evaluation. The homeowner spotted our vehicle and welcomed our techs into the house, listing all the issues he'd encountered while trying to improve the maintenance of his shower area.

Mold and calcium were visible next to the white ceramic surface, especially on the seams. Of course, this was our first hint of the underlying issue. The seams had deep cracks that made way for moisture and the minerals in hard water, and this was concerning for several reasons. For one, moisture buildup was more severe when the water seeped behind the tiles, so there was no effective way to stop the spread of mold without repairing the grout first. On the other hand, there was the risk of structural damage if the area wasn't reinforced to withstand wear and tear.

Regular cleaners also cause discoloration over time, which is why we also offered to use our professional equipment to restore the ceramic's pristine surface. After listening to our explanation about Sir Grout's restoration process, the homeowner scheduled a new appointment with our techs, thanking us for our assistance during the evaluation.

At his convenience, we returned to the house a few days later with all the necessary equipment. Our experts started by cleaning the shower with a surface-safe formula that got the dirt loose in minutes. Then, we used a 275-degree vapor steamer to remove the mineral residue that was trapped on the seams and between some of the tiles.

Next, our crew carefully applied ColorSeal to the grout on the walls, gradually restoring its uniform color. Our sealant is the perfect solution to simplify the maintenance of grout surfaces through hours of moisture and other external elements. Its protection lasts for months, and you don't have to worry about embedded dirt on the grout pores.

When it was time to repair the seams, we installed pure silicone caulking around the bathtub and on the corner joints. This powerful mix resists water and mold while removing the downsides of cement-based grout. There's no better way to keep your shower in perfect condition through the worst effects of wear and tear.

The client was thrilled when he saw the result. The ceramic surface looked stunning, and the white grout was fully restored, making the shower look brand new. After praising the quality of our work, the owner promised to recommend our services to all the people they knew in Arlington.

With that, our team was ready to leave the house, but we took a few moments to share some additional recommendations. We warned the owner against using generic cleaners on tile and grout surfaces since none of these products have the right ingredients to do a thorough job. Products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are a much better choice because they won't expose the surface to harsh ingredients each time you have to wipe off the dirt. Large surfaces can be cleaned more effectively, and homeowners don't have to waste time juggling different products at once. Moreover, our cleaner's pH-neutral formula ensures that no toxic fumes are released into your bathroom spaces.

Another recommendation was to scrub the tiles with non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. If you try using shaper tools, you'll likely leave scratch marks on the ceramic and contribute to the deterioration of your shower surfaces.

Regular cleaning is essential, but we also recommend looking into the home's ventilation system when bathroom areas are constantly affected by mold and mildew. Much of the damage can be traced back to a damp environment. In these cases, homeowners can easily minimize the effects of moisture buildup by simply opening the windows and doors from time to time.
