If you’ve been avoiding looking down while you’re sudding up because of some "mystery mold" or crumbling grout lines, don't worry—you aren't alone! Showers and wet areas are the hardest-working parts of your home, and they take a constant beating from moisture, soap scum, and hard water. At The Grout Medic of San Diego, we’ve turned shower restoration into a science, and we love nothing more than taking a "drab" bathroom and making it look "fab" again in just one day!

Our repair process is designed to be thorough, clean, and—most importantly—long-lasting. We start by carefully removing the old, compromised grout using specialized hand tools to ensure we don't nick your beautiful tile. Once the "bad stuff" is gone, we deep-clean the channels to kill any hidden mold or mildew spores. Then, we mix up a high-quality, polymer-fortified grout that’s specifically designed for wet environments. We press it into the joints to ensure a solid, waterproof bond. After the new grout has cured, we finish the job with our professional-grade sealer. This creates an invisible shield that keeps water and grime out, making your future cleaning sessions a total breeze!

One of the most important steps we take in "wet area" repairs is addressing the change of plane—that’s the spot where the wall meets the floor or where two walls join in a corner. Because houses naturally settle and move, grout in these corners almost always cracks. That’s why we use a specialized, color-matched 100% silicone caulk in these areas. Unlike stiff grout, this caulk is flexible, so it can "wiggle" with your house without breaking the waterproof seal. It’s this attention to detail that keeps your shower looking brand new and protects your home from hidden water damage behind the walls.

Expert Tip: To keep your newly repaired shower looking sparkling, try using a small squeegee after your last shower of the day! Taking thirty seconds to whisk away the standing water prevents minerals and soap from settling into your fresh grout. It’s the easiest way to keep that "just-finished" glow!
