A Grout Sealing Service Gave This Bathroom Floor in Chicago, IL, a Complete Renovation

February 14, 2024

Grout deteriorates and becomes unsightly over time, especially in areas like bathrooms and showers. If it is cracked, crumbling, or severely damaged, it might need professional restoration because this is a process that requires adequate tools, patience, and attention to detail. Our client from Chicago, IL, was having this problem in her bathroom. The owner cleaned the area regularly, but she was disappointed to see the grout lines on the floor still looked dingy and unappealing.


After searching online and trying other methods that didn't work, she concluded it was time to seek professional assistance. Thankfully, one of her friends highly recommended our grout sealing services in Chicago, Illinois, saying we were the best in town.

She visited our user-friendly website to learn more about us and was happy to see how much information was available. She read a few of our blog posts and browsed our picture gallery, which gave her the confidence to fill out our online scheduler to request a free evaluation on a day and time that was most convenient for her.

As always, we arrived on time, in uniform, and in our Sir Grout vehicle on the inspection day. We quickly assessed the issues and noticed the bathroom floor was in poor condition, the grout was damaged, and it wasn't adequately sealed, which had contributed to staining, discoloration, and deterioration.

We discussed our assessment with the owner and suggested the best solution to fix the problems and restore the surface. We recommended our grout cleaning and sealing service using Sir Grout's proprietary products because they are the safest, most advanced products on the market. We told her we would address the damage, color seal the grout to revamp its color, and ensure the surface would be protected for a long time.

We gave her a no-obligation quote outlining the work we would perform. The reasonable quote we offered was within her expectations, so she immediately requested to schedule the job on a future date and time that was convenient for her.

On the appointed day and time, we returned to restore the bathroom floor. After preparing the area with clear plastic and masking tape to ensure it was protected while we worked, we set up our equipment and started our multi-step process, letting the homeowner know we were available if she had any questions.

First, we cleaned the surface using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive cleaner. We explained to the client that our product uses high-quality ingredients that wouldn't leave a residue or damage the surface.

Next, we used a vapor steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. When the grout was spotless, we repaired decaying and damaged grout to ensure a beautiful, revamped appearance.

Finally, we sealed the grout lines with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal, a high-quality product that protects against dirt, water, stains, and other damage. It also reduces wear and tear, making it easier for the homeowner to maintain.

During our free assessment, we told our client that ColorSeal is a remarkable sealant that gives grout a uniform color and a completely revitalized appearance, improving the surface tenfold. In addition, our large variety of colors almost always ensures we have a color to match the original color of the grout, or many homeowners choose to change it, providing a new look.

After cleaning up, we met with our client and showed her the results. Our client loved the renewed appearance of the surface and was very happy because the process had been efficient and fast. She told us our job had exceeded her expectations, and after thanking us, she promised to recommend Sir Grout's services to family and friends with any hard surface-related issues like hers. She also mentioned she would leave a five-star review on Google to ensure others knew about Sir Grout's outstanding products and services.

Before leaving, we gave the homeowner some recommendations and helpful tips for maintaining her restored bathroom floor. We suggested a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. We told her it delivers outstanding results, and because it's non-toxic, it won't harm anyone in her household, including pets.

We don't recommend using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that damage the surface and leave a residue that often seeps into the grout, causing discoloration, staining, and other issues.

Since mold and mildew are a potential threat in damp environments, we emphasized the importance of taking measures to help prevent their growth. We suggested keeping the area well-lit when possible, providing a source of fresh air, and drying the surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
