Do you ever wonder why people go to fancy hotels to stay for a couple of days? The idea of living in a beautiful, and well-maintained hotel room and using an extravagant bathroom delights many people. Most of you have great bathrooms at home, but after a few years, it starts losing the charm and beauty it once had. This is because you probably have not invested in the proper bathroom and shower restoration care over the years.
At The Groutsmith, we offer an expert evaluation resulting in a custom recommendation based on your needs. Our goal is to properly repair and restore your bath or shower to its original condition. Our shower repair and restoration services include cleaning, grout repair, grout sealing, color restoration, color-matched caulking, or complete grout removal and replacement.
Shower Restoration FAQs
What is shower restoration?
Shower restoration includes deep cleaning the space and shower door glass to remove all the sticky soap scum, mold, and mildew.
How long does a refinished shower last?
With proper care and maintenance, refinishing can extend the useful life of your fixtures for up to 15-20 years or more.
Why restore my shower instead of replacing it?
Shower refinishing, re-glazing, restoring, and resurfacing can save you up to 75% of the cost of bathroom reconstruction. Shower refinishing can not only save you money over remodeling, but it can be more eco-friendly.
Is it worth regrouting a shower?
Keeping up with the regrouting process is a very important part of maintaining your shower or other tiled areas. The main purpose of grout is to seal your shower or tiled surface. This keeps dirt and grime from getting beneath the tiles to eat away at the adhesive.
How much does it cost to repair a shower?
If it’s just the showerhead or the valve that is causing the leak, fixing or replacing those parts is a quick and relatively cheap job. If you need to replace a shower, this task should only be done by an experienced plumber or DIYer. Don’t try to lower costs by attempting this yourself.
Benefits Of Shower Restoration
- Keep Your Shower Safe
Your shower can prove to be a hazard if you have missing tiles, cracked tiles, cracked grout, or even excess mold. Keep your family and yourself safe by keeping your shower free from damaged tile or worn-away grout that can leave sharp edges around your shower’s surfaces. You should also be mindful that your shower can easily harbor mold (since it’s a moist environment), and your tile surfaces should be sealed to shed water easily while fending off harmful mold.
2. Color-Match Your Grout
We color-match your shower’s current grout, making it look as if it were tiled yesterday. You’ll love how your shower looks with continuous, same-toned grout between all of its tiles. If you’re having us replace the grout entirely, we can provide you with several color options, so you can choose the best color to suit your preference.
Extended Longevity
When properly restored, your grout can last anywhere between 15 and 20 years — as long as it is maintained correctly in the meantime. Meanwhile, poorly maintained grout or damaged tiles can lead to a leak that penetrates the surface of your shower. That can cause damage quickly, which may result in a complete rebuild.
3. Protect Your Home’s Structure
As we just mentioned, your shower tiles are liable to cause a leak if the tiles or grout are damaged. Over time, an unnoticed leak can seep into the wood structure of your home, weakening it. That wood may eventually rot, resulting in costly repairs. You may also notice damage to ceilings and walls around your home, which a shower leak may cause. It’s best to have your shower inspected and repaired before a minor leak turns into a major headache.
4. Boost Your Home Value
Our shower grout and tile repairs and restorations won’t just impress you, they will impress any home buyer that’s touring your home. If you’re considering placing your home on the market anytime shortly, then a shower tile overhaul can work wonders to make your home look as though it were brand new. Your restoration may well pay for itself if you choose to sell your home!
