A Thorough Hard Surface Restoration in Ridgefield, CT is What This Bathroom Needed to Return to its Former Glory

April 19, 2021

An elegant bathroom is a dream for many homeowners. It gives the room a sophisticated appearance and an aura that's both inviting and comfortable. That's exactly what a homeowner in Ridgefield, CT, aimed for when she renovated her master bathroom a few years ago. Unfortunately, the floor's appealing and sophisticated look faded through years of regular usage, and the grout was now discolored and stained. The bathing area and the granite counters throughout the house had also seen better days. This unfortunate turn of events worried the customer because she thought she would need to have the surfaces renovated once again. Not only would another renovation be expensive, it would also take a long time to complete.


One of the homeowner's friends noticed her concerns and recommended searching online for professional help. If an expert team were to assess the bathroom, maybe they would offer an alternative to a complete tear out of the bathroom's surfaces. This prompted the homeowner to search for hard surface restoration in Ridgefield, CT. She found our website in the top results. After watching some video testimonials and browsing the picture gallery, she called to request a free in-home consultation.

Bathrooms are very susceptible to damage and can be difficult to keep clean with regular maintenance. This is because their surfaces are exposed to water, dirt, soap, and chemicals found in products that they often come in contact with.


Upon arriving at the customer's home, our team of trained professionals inspected the bathroom. After assessing the surfaces, our experts concluded the most efficient and long-lasting solution would be deep cleaning the bathroom floor and applying ColorSeal to the grout lines, followed by stone honing and polishing services to achieve a glossy look. They would also restore the granite counters and repair the grout and the expansion joints in the bathing area to prepare them for the sealing procedure. The client was pleased to find out that even though the bathroom surfaces needed some repairs, they didn't need renovations. She thanked our crew for the inspection and set up an appointment for the job.

Our crew returned to the client's home a few days later to perform the service. They began by cleaning the bathroom's surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. This cleaner is safe for tile, stone, and grout. It also contains properties that help to protect hard surfaces from bacteria, mold, and mildew. To remove the most stubborn dirt, our crew used a steam cleaner. During the cleaning procedure, our techs also removed a few blemishes from the granite counters using low-grit diamond pads.


When they finished cleaning, our experts replaced the worn-out caulk on the bathtub's joints in preparation for the sealing procedure. Next, they coated the bathroom's grout and joints with our flagship sealant ColorSeal. This is an acrylic-based sealant that makes grout impervious to water, dirt, stains, mold, and mildew. It also comes in a variety of colors. The client chose white to give the bathroom a hygienic appearance.

After the grout restoration procedure, our techs began the honing process on the floor. To do this, they used different sets of diamond pads and abrasive products to bring out the floor's original color. Next, they polished the entire surface to give it a beautiful finish.

To finish the bathroom's restoration procedure, our techs coated the counters with Stone Armor. That is an impregnating sealant that protects granite and other types of natural stone from harmful external agents. It also enhances the overall appearance of the surface by giving it a nice, glossy finish.

The homeowner was amazed by the results. The bathroom now had the beautiful, elegant appearance she always wanted. She kindly thanked our professionals for their service and assured them she would call back for maintenance.

A great way to maintain bathrooms is cleaning them once a week using a pH-neutral cleaner like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike other products, this cleaner doesn't contain additives that leave a sticky residue behind. It also prolongs the lifespan of ColorSeal.
