Hard water stain removal.

Our cleaning system uses a combination of machine scrubbing, wet vacuum extraction, hand detailing edges & corners and 350 degree high pressure vapor steam to blast away years of soap scum build up, grime, mold & mildew that occurs over time. As a result, your shower is left looking squeaky clean and sanitized.

Then, after a thorough cleaning, we can seal your grout, tile & natural stone.

Clear sealing – For any porous surfaces such as marble, travertine, limestone, granite, slate, etc…Shower walls, shower floors etc.
Epoxy regrouting – For shower floors that are stained or have cracks that will not come clean.
Recaulking – For expanding corners, joints, moldy glass door areas, moldy silicone and anywhere requiring some flexibility.
Glass cleaning & polishing – For hard water spots and stains on the inside of your shower doors and glass.

Mold, Corners and Shower Floors

Mold, failing corners and cracked shower floor grout repaired before they cause leaks.

Shower corners and floors stay wet the longest, so that is where mold, soap scum and dark grout show up first. Bleach only hides the stain for a few weeks, and the mold grows back behind failing caulk.

350° steam: we steam the corners, floor and grout lines to kill mold at the source.
Old caulk out: every bead of failing caulk comes out, and the joints are cleaned and dried.
Grout repaired: cracked or missing grout is patched, and badly stained floors can be regrouted or Color Sealed.
Sealed and recaulked: we seal porous tile and grout, then recaulk every corner and change of plane.

Our Shower Refresh Package

Quick Look: How We Restore a Shower

All soap scum removed from every surface
All old caulk removed from corners and around fixtures
350° vapor steam in every corner to kill mold
Missing or cracked grout lines patched
All porous surfaces sealed with a no-VOC impregnating sealer
All corners recaulked with silicone or acrylic caulk

Most Shower Refresh jobs take about half a day. Plan on 48 hours before showering with a clear seal, or 72 hours with a color seal upgrade.

Signs Your Shower Needs Restoration

Black or pink mold in the caulk or grout that won’t clean off
Caulk that’s cracked, peeling or pulling away from the corners
Cracked, crumbling or missing grout
Soap scum and hard water buildup on tile and glass
Dull or etched natural stone

Shower Restoration vs. Remodeling

Most showers don’t need to be torn out. If the tile is solid, restoration fixes the grout, caulk and buildup that make a shower look old, for a fraction of the cost of a remodel and with no demolition.

Shower Restoration FAQ

How do I get a price on shower restoration?

Every shower is different, so we quote each one after seeing it. Our Shower Refresh package covers most showers, and add-ons like color sealing or epoxy regrouting the floor are priced based on your shower. Text us a few photos or schedule a free estimate, and we will give you an exact quote up front.

What’s included in a Shower Refresh?

A full deep clean with 350° vapor steam, soap scum and mold removal, all old caulk removed and replaced, missing or cracked grout patched, and all porous surfaces sealed.

How long does shower restoration take?

Most Shower Refresh jobs take about half a day. Plan on 48 hours before using the shower with a clear seal, or 72 hours if you upgrade to color sealing, so the sealer and caulk can fully cure.

Is it cheaper to restore or remodel a shower?

Restoring is a fraction of the cost of a remodel. If your tile is in good shape, restoration fixes the grout, caulk and buildup without any demolition.

Can you get rid of mold in shower caulk?

Yes. Mold in caulk can’t be cleaned out, so we remove all the old caulk, steam the corners at 350° to kill mold, and recaulk with fresh silicone or acrylic caulk.

Can you fix cracked grout on a shower floor?

Yes. Small areas are patched as part of the Shower Refresh. For badly cracked or stained floors, we recommend epoxy regrouting, which is waterproof and stain-proof.

Can you fix a leaking shower?

Most shower leaks come from failed caulk and cracked or missing grout. Our Shower Refresh fixes those by repairing the grout, recaulking every corner, and sealing all porous surfaces to keep water out. If we find water damage behind the tile, we’ll tell you honestly what it needs.
