Hard Surface Restoration Services in Upper West Side, NY: Enhancing Damaged Bathrooms with a Brand-New Appearance

February 26, 2019

Cleaning bathrooms is a challenge for many homeowners. It is difficult and time-consuming because damaged hard surfaces can't be restored with conventional methods. Professionals like Sir Grout Manhattan have the experience and the equipment to perform this task successfully. A couple from New York recently purchased their first house. They loved their new place but the bathroom had some issues. The grout on the floor had an unclean appearance and the marble tiles had lost their beauty. Also, some tiles on the wall had fallen off.


The couple struggled with the maintenance and tried to get rid of the problems using DIY methods they found in a magazine. Unfortunately, they only noticed negative results. After some consideration, they decided that the best option was to look for professional assistance. Thankfully, this decision led them to find our hard surface restoration services in Upper West Side, NY. Our experts were able to fix the problems and enhance their bathroom.

The couple found Sir Grout Manhattan when they searched online for a hard surface restoration company in Upper West Side, NY. On our website, they browsed the picture gallery, and read testimonials from previous satisfied customers. The positive feedback and the outstanding results displayed in the pictures convinced them we could solve the issues in their bathroom. They scheduled a free in-home consultation by filling out the "Request a Quote" form.

We arrived on the appointed date for the evaluation of the bathroom. After greeting the owners, we proceeded with the assessment. We immediately noticed the grout on the bathroom's floor had accumulated dirt, soap, and cleaner residue. In addition, the marble tiles looked dull and unappealing. We also spotted the missing tiles on the wall. We told the owners that years of daily wear and tear led to this deterioration. As we continued the evaluation, we learned the grout lines needed sealing. We explained that unsealed grout can absorb any external agent easily and it is vulnerable to degradation. After we finished the inspection, we concluded that their bathroom needed professional maintenance.


For the solution, we offered our hard surface restoration service. With our top of the line processes, we would remove all the blemishes and fix the problems in the bathroom. We assured the owners everything would have a completely new appearance when we were finished. They were pleased with the solution we proposed and decided to hire us.

We returned to their house to begin the restoration process. To ensure optimal results, we must follow a series of thorough steps. We began by addressing the damaged tiles on the wall and installing new ones. After that, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. This top-notch product is soap-free and won't cause any damage. Additionally, it has an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi for an extended period of timea fter application. Next, we repaired the grout on the floor. Once the grout lines were pristine, we polished the marble tiles with three sets of high-grade diamond honing pads, each with an increased level of grit. We grinded until we gave the stone a new finish.

For the last step, we sealed the grout lines with ColorSeal. This high-level sealant is ideal for bathrooms because it can withstand heavy daily wear and tear. It blocks the absorption of liquids and wards off damages from dirt, grime, and all other harmful external agents. Another advantage is that it makes cleaning routines faster because scrubbing is not necessary when the surface is sealed. Moreover, ColorSeal comes in a variety of colors, allowing the owners to match the grout with the tiles and improve the appearance of the entire bathroom.

When we finished the process, everything looked brand-new. We invited our clients to see the results. The owners were pleasantly surprised when they saw the amazing restoration we had accomplished. They were happy because our process was fast and cost-effective. Satisfied with our work, they stated that from that point on, they would contact us for all their hard surface restoration needs. After thanking us, the owners said they would certainly recommend Sir Grout Manhattan to everyone they know.

Before leaving, we gave the owners some suggestions for better maintenance. To minimize the accumulation of dirt and grime, establish a weekly cleaning routine. For this task, use only pH-neutral, soap free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product doesn't leave residue and its ingredients that can help provide protection against bacteria and fungi. Do not use soap-based cleaners because they leave residue that seeps into the grout lines. This deteriorates the surface and can lead to other problems. We don't recommend products with acidic properties either because they are harsh and produce negative effects on the grout and tiles.

Proper ventilation is necessary in order to prevent fungi growth. We recommend leaving the door ajar or a window open, especially after hot showers. This will allow the moisture to flow freely. Also, keep the surface dry using a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag. Squeegeeing after every use is great way to keep the bathroom spotless.
