Our Grout Sealing Experts in Manhattanville, NY Shielded and Spruced-up This Bathroom's Surface

January 31, 2019

Grout sealing is a process whereby a special sealant is applied on tiled surfaces. This is important because grout is commonly cement-based and porous. As a result, it readily absorbs dirt, grime, cleaner residue, and water. When this happens, the grout lines acquire a darkish color, spoiling the appearance of the entire surface. Properly sealed grout repels these external agents and endures daily wear and tear. However, grout sealing is a complex task that requires the skillful hands of professionals. Experts like Sir Grout Manhattan can restore the grout lines and apply the sealant safely and successfully.


A couple from Manhattanville needed Sir Grout Manhattan's assistance because their bathroom was in poor condition. They had been struggling with its maintenance for a while, trying many DIY routines, but nothing seemed to work. Despite their best effort, the tiles and the grout lines remained dirty and unappealing. After some consideration, they decided that the best option was to hire professionals. Thanks to this decision, they found our grout sealing service in Manhattanville, NY.

When we asked them how they found us, they told us one of their friends recommended us. She highly praised our work because we had fully restored her floors as well. She suggested checking out our website to get more information about us. They did as she advised and visited our site. The couple browsed the picture gallery and read testimonials from previous satisfied customers. The feedback and the outstanding results displayed in the pictures convinced them we could solve the issues in their bathroom, so they scheduled a free in-home consultation by filling out the "Request a Quote" form.

A few days later, we arrived to assess the condition of the surface. After the introductions, we proceeded with the inspection. We noticed the grout had accumulated dirt, grime, and soap residue. Because of this, the grout lines had acquired a darkish tone and the entire surface had a dirty appearance. We told the owners that daily use, improper cleaning methods, and harsh products were the cause of this problem. We also ran our sealant test and found the grout needed sealing. We explained that it was important to rectify this issue because the surface was exposed to all sorts of damage from external agents. We concluded that the bathroom needed our professional process.

We offered a grout sealing service to shield the surface and prevent any damages. To ensure the best results possible, we would use our top tier products and high-end equipment. We assured the owners their bathroom would look beautiful when we were finished. They were happy with the solution we proposed and decided to hire us.

We returned a couple of days later to begin with the grout sealing process. It was a procedure that consisted of several steps and required our hard surface expertise. We made sure everything was clean by using our exclusive pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our top-notch product is soap-free and safe for tiles and grout. Also, it has an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi for uan extended period of time after application. When we completed this step, the surface was no longer dirty. We continued by cleaning the grout and performing the necessary repairs. We thoroughly worked on the entire surface until all the grout lines were fully restored.

After cleaning and fixing the grout, we were ready to perform the sealing process. For this step, we used our top of the line ColorSeal. This special sealant closes off the absorption of water and protects the surface against dirt, grime, and all other harmful external agents. With ColorSeal maintaining the surface in good condition isn't a problem because it makes cleaning routines easier and faster. Furthermore, it comes in a variety of colors so the owner can match the grout with the tiles and improve the appearance of the bathroom.

It was completely restored and looked amazing. We invited our clients to see the outstanding outcome of our work and they were pleasantly surprised when they saw the stunning new appearance of their bathroom floor. They were happy because the problems were gone. The couple was satisfied with our work and stated that from that point on, Sir Grout Manhattan would be their company of choice for any hard surface restoration they might need in the future. After thanking us, they said they would certainly recommend our services to everyone they know.

When we were about to leave, we gave the couple some suggestions for safer and more effective maintenance. We recommended setting up a weekly cleaning routine using only pH-neutral soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product has an an extended period of time provides protection against bacteria and fungi. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We do not recommend using soap-based or acidic cleaners. These products contain harsh agents that can cause deterioration. Moreover, these cleaners leave residue that can damage the grout lines, discoloring or even breaking them. This can lead to more severe issues and structural problems.

It is important to keep the bathroom dry and well ventilated because mold and mildew thrive in moist and damp areas. To prevent this problem, it is necessary to lower the moisture levels by leaving the door ajar or a window open, especially after hot showers. Always dry the surface with a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth. Squeegeeing after every use is a great way to keep the bathroom free of dirt particles.
