A homeowner in Savannah loved the pattern of her bathroom floor, so she didn't mind spending extra time making sure that every part of the grout was spotless. The tiles' intricate design was a treat to the senses, but it also made routine cleaning a true challenge. Unfortunately, there wasn't much the homeowner could do once portions of the grout started going loose.

Residential Floor Before and After a Stone Polishing in Savannah
After the frustration of not making progress for weeks, the homeowner was pleasantly surprised by how simple it was to secure the perfect solution. She found Sir Grout of the Lowcountry at the top of her Google results when she tried looking for stone polishing services in Savannah and schedule an appointment in minutes after filling out our website's form.

At her convenience, our specialists visited her house the very next day to inspect the bathroom floor. Their evaluation revealed etch marks on many of the marble tiles and the gaps in the areas where the grout had gone loose. All these factors did a lot to ruin the floor's unique beauty, and our techs knew that regular cleaners could only strip the stone of its shine. They explained that the harsh ingredients in these products can damage hard surfaces after repeated use, corroding the grout and allowing the absorption of external elements into the pores.

Luckily, a regrouting service could restore the floor, and our honing equipment would fix the damage to the stone tiles. Our crew explained all these steps to the client, and she completely agreed with this plan, asking about the possibility of having the work done that same week.

So, our experts returned to her house a few days later with the necessary equipment. After preparing the area, they soaked the floor with a stone-safe cleaner to remove any traces of embedded dirt. Our crew ran a high-speed scrubber several times until it was ready for the next stage of the process.

Then, they carefully installed epoxy grout on all the grout lines after removing the old caulk. This epoxy mix is resistant to mold, water, and the worst effects of wear and tear. It's also not as porous as cement-based grout, so high-traffic surfaces can withstand a lot more activity without cracks or stains.

To revamp the marble surface, our specialists honed the entire floor with three different sets of diamond pads until they worked through all the marks. When all the tiles were smooth, they used polishing powders to enhance the stone's natural shine.

All these steps left the floor looking as good as new, so our team only had to buff the surface with stone sealant to complete another successful restoration. The homeowner was delighted with the result and thanked us for making her bathroom look so elegant.

Near the end of the appointment, our experts shared some additional tips to improve the maintenance of grout and marble surfaces. They knew that it had been hard for the client to go about her cleaning routine with the products at her disposal, so they recommended replacing them with pH-neutral cleaners. With Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, you don't have to worry about adding to the damage because there are no harsh ingredients to discolor your marble surfaces. PH-neutral cleaners also minimize the risks to the grout while removing all the dirt that often gets stuck between the stone tiles. They will help you preserve your natural stone surfaces and keep your living spaces free of toxic fumes so household members can be at ease.

Our techs also recommended using only non-abrasive tools to avoid scratch marks on the tiles. Marble surfaces can sustain a lot of damage when you use steel wools and other sharp objects, so it's best to scrub off any residue with a towel or a clean mop. Last but not least, we always remind clients of the importance of having good indoor ventilation. The circulation of fresh air can be just what you need to fully stop the spread of mold and mildew around your bathroom surfaces.
