Our Grout Recoloring Process Transformed This Bathroom in Pittsburgh, PA

January 11, 2024

Grout recoloring is a transformative process that can breathe new life into dull, stained, or discolored grout lines. It is the best way to rejuvenate an old surface and provide a clean, uniform look to any area of the home.


Our client in Pittsburgh, PA, wanted to change the color of the grout in her bathroom from white to dark gray. After considering her options, she went online and searched for grout recoloring services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and found Sir Grout Pittsburgh at the top of Google's results.

She visited our user-friendly website and was happy to find all the information she needed. She read a few of our blog posts and browsed our picture gallery, which gave her the confidence to fill out our online scheduler to request a free evaluation on a day and time that was most convenient for her.

As always, we arrived on time, in uniform, and in our Sir Grout vehicle on the inspection day. The owner explained she wanted to change the grout color in her bathroom, and we offered the best solution for her request.

We recommended our tile and grout recoloring service using Sir Grout's proprietary products because they are the safest, most advanced products on the market. We told her we would color seal the grout to revamp its color and give the surface a brand-new appearance.

After discussing our assessment with the owner, we gave her a no-obligation quote outlining the work we would perform. She chose her favorite color from our sample and immediately requested to schedule the job on a future date and time that was convenient for her.

We arrived on the appointed day and time, ready to begin the job. After preparing the area with clear plastic and masking tape to ensure it was protected while we worked, we set up our equipment and began our multi-step process, letting the homeowner know we were available to answer all her questions.

First, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive cleaner. We explained to the client that our product uses high-quality ingredients that wouldn't leave a residue or damage the surface.

Next, we used a vapor steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. When the grout was spotless, we addressed the caulking. Since the owner wanted to change the color, we replaced the white caulk on the expansion joints with dark gray epoxy grout. Unlike common mixtures, this product isn't porous and can withstand day-to-day wear. It's ideal for damp environments because it's resistant to mold and mildew.

Finally, we sealed the grout lines with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal, a high-quality product that protects against dirt, water, stains, and other damage. In addition, it reduces wear and tear, making it easier for the homeowner to maintain.

During our free assessment, we had already explained to the client that what makes our ColorSeal stand out is that it gives grout a uniform color and a completely revitalized appearance, improving the surface tenfold. In addition, our large variety of colors almost always ensures we have a color to match the original color of the grout, or many homeowners choose to change it, providing a new look. For this project, we used dark gray as the owner requested.

After cleaning up, we met with our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the new color of the grout lines and said her bathroom now looked perfect. She thanked us for a job that exceeded her expectations and promised to recommend our services to family and friends with hard surface-related issues like hers. She also mentioned she would leave a five-star review on Google to ensure others knew about Sir Grout's outstanding products and services.

Before leaving, we gave the homeowner some recommendations and helpful tips for maintaining her revamped surface. We suggested a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. We told her it delivers outstanding results, and because it's non-toxic, it won't harm anyone in her household, including pets.

We also suggested she avoid using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that damage the surface and leave a residue that can seep into the grout, causing discoloration, staining, and other issues.

Since mold and mildew are a potential health threat, we emphasized the importance of taking measures to help prevent their growth. We suggested keeping the area well-lit when possible, providing a source of fresh air by leaving a door or window open, and, after using the shower, drying surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
