Our Grout Sealing Crew Fully Restored This Beautiful Shower Floor in Harlem, NY

May 07, 2025

A homeowner in Harlem, NY, was frustrated by the stains on his shower floor and, more than anything, he was worried about the damage that seemed to be affecting the floor's grout. He'd struggled to stop the discoloration on the grout, but eventually, layers of soap scum changed the color of the lines near the seams. The owner knew of the damage that grout surfaces could sustain without proper protection, and he was already unhappy with the floor's overall look, so he decided it was the right time to call a grout sealing service in Harlem, NY.


He found Sir Grout Manhattan at the start of his online search and he immediately recognized our logo. Our services were popular in his area, so this was all the encouragement he needed after seeing our website at the top of his results page. Excited about getting insight from our stone restoration experts, the owner perused different sections before heading to the website's contact form.
Following his request, our specialists went to his home a few days later to inspect the shower floor. During the evaluation, we observed the grout closely to ensure there were no cracks in any part of the floor's complex layout. Luckily, the owner's work had paid off on that end, so all we needed to do was seal the porous surface to prevent any damage in the future.

The white marble tiles still looked somewhat dull after being exposed to moisture and soap for so long, so we offered to clean and polish the tiles as part of the restoration. Regular cleaners are expected to prevent the deterioration of natural stone surfaces, but they only wear down the tiles' beauty, altering their color and dulling their sheen. When the client asked about it, we confirmed that there was no exposure to harsh ingredients during our restoration process, so he jumped at the chance to schedule a new visit after checking our no-obligation quote.

On the appointed date, our techs returned to the client's home with the necessary equipment. First, we soaked every part of the white marble surface with a stone-safe cleaner. As the product took effect, we scrubbed off the dirt and soap scum from the floor. By the time we started steam cleaning the shower area, all the stickiness had disappeared.

The next step was to hone the stone. To do this, our team used three sets of high-end diamond pads, gradually restoring the marble's beauty as all the imperfections were eliminated. Then, we completed the tiles' restoration by applying special polishing powders until the floor looked smooth and its rich layout was on full display.

Our experts moved on to restore the grout with our flagship ColorSeal. We sealed all the grout lines to make them match the tiles, using a light gray color as per the client's request. This unique sealant guarantees the best protection to prevent many of the stains you expect to see in a shower. It inhibits the absorption of mold and mildew while keeping soap scum and dirt away from the grout pores. As a result, homeowners don't have to waste all their energy on shower maintenance.

Our restoration method left the shower with a clean, fresh look that the client loved at once. It was everything he wanted and more, so he was eager to recommend Sir Grout Manhattan to all his friends and relatives in the area.

At the end of the appointment, our specialists shared some additional cleaning pointers, and the client welcomed all their recommendations. We started by listing the risks homeowners take while constantly subjecting marble surfaces to toxic cleaners and recommended pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes many of these concerns, combining high-quality ingredients to ensure maximum cleaning power; shower maintenance takes only half the time and the results last for much longer. It's the perfect way to complement the sealant's protection by removing the dirt that makes its way between the tiles.

Our crew also recommended against using sharp tools, as they could scratch the stone and leave permanent marks. A towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee will work much better to remove the stickiness from your shower surfaces. The best way to stop the spread of mold and mildew is by countering the early signs of moisture buildup. A weekly cleaning routine and proper indoor ventilation can do a lot to keep your bathroom looking clean and spotless for months, with no signs of damage to the grout.
