This Bathroom in New Albany Was Fully Restored by Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

December 05, 2025

A homeowner in New Albany had reached the point where no amount of scrubbing made her bathroom look the way she wanted. The ceramic tile floor had deep, worn-out grout joints that looked rough and uneven, and the wall grout had absorbed discoloration that regular cleaners simply couldn't remove. She tried multiple products—store-bought sprays, abrasive brushes, even a few "miracle" pastes trending online—but nothing restored the uniform look she remembered. Frustrated and worried the entire space might need costly replacement, she began looking for specialized help and found our service page while researching New Albany tile and grout cleaners.


After exploring examples in our before-and-after gallery and learning more about our New Albany tile and grout cleaners she filled out our online request-a-quote form to schedule an in-home evaluation with our Sir Grout Columbus team. She mentioned in her message that she wanted the bathroom to look clean, cohesive, and "newly installed" again—but without replacing any tiles. Our crew arrived on time, ready to check the condition of the surfaces and explain what could be done.

During the inspection, our technicians immediately noticed the root of the problem: the floor grout joints were worn past the point where cleaning could help. Some sections were recessed, others had small gaps, and the grout texture felt coarse due to years of moisture exposure. The wall grout had a different issue—staining and inconsistent color from past attempts at harsh cleaning solutions. To fix everything properly, we recommended a full regrout on the ceramic tile floor, followed by a ColorSeal application on the wall grout to recolor, protect, and give the entire bathroom a brand-new finish. The homeowner appreciated that she wouldn't need a renovation and approved the restoration on the spot.

Our team returned the next morning to begin the process by masking and protecting the surrounding fixtures, trim, and cabinetry to keep every area safe during the restoration. With the bathroom prepped, they carefully removed the old, deteriorated floor grout. This step was essential in cases like hers—cleaning alone can't fix grout that's worn down or missing. Once the surface was fully cleared, we applied fresh grout with expert precision to ensure clean, even joints across the entire floor. The difference was instantly noticeable; the tiles aligned visually the way they were intended to when first installed.

Next came the upper walls, where our ColorSeal made the transformative impact she hoped for. This premium sealer is designed to recolor and protect grout, delivering a consistent appearance while helping guard against moisture, stains, and daily wear. Our technicians matched the ColorSeal tone to her preferred shade, ensuring the grout lines highlighted the tile pattern without overpowering it. As each section was completed, the wall instantly looked smoother, brighter, and more uniform—exactly the "new install" effect she had wanted.

After the final cleanup and inspection, the homeowner walked into the bathroom and stopped in the doorway, smiling. She couldn't believe how cohesive the space looked from end to end. The regrouted floor had crisp lines again, and the ColorSealed walls looked even better than she remembered from when she first moved in. She thanked our team for the clarity of the process, the care taken with her home, and the results that exceeded her expectations. For her, the project felt like a full renovation without the stress or expense of replacing any materials.

Before leaving, we shared a few maintenance recommendations to help her keep the results looking their best. We advised her to clean the surfaces with our pH-neutral Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, which is designed to protect grout and tile without the harsh chemicals that often cause discoloration. We also recommended avoiding acidic or abrasive products, since these can wear down grout and compromise sealers. Proper ventilation during showers, routine drying of surfaces, and simple weekly cleaning would be enough to maintain her refreshed bathroom for a long time.
