On this occasion we got contacted by an old customer who was worried about the bathroom state in one of her rental properties in Didsbury , Manchester. It's a common for tenants to feel they're not responsible for the bathroom tiles and grout state, so they won't call the landlord about problems normally, which can cause problems. On this case it's exactly what happened. There was grout missing cracks in tiles etc. There was water leaking into wall through the missing grout and poor silicone sealant aplication.
On arrival I started with cleaning discoloured and mouldy grout. For grout cleaning I used acid based grout cleaner which worked well in this occasion. I sprayed it on grout and left it to dwell for about a minute or so and then scrubbed with our special shaped grout brush.
After cleaning the walls I rinsed the walls with clean water to get all remaining chemicals off. I knew it was leaking in places so I temporarily filled the cracks and holes with silicone before rinsing. Shower cubicle walls and grout clean I dried the walls and moved onto my least favourite part - silicone sealant removal.
For silicone sealant removal I used a sharp knife and a glass scraper. When pulling away the silicone I realised it was damp and quite rotten between tiles and bath edge. So I had to empty it out from anything damp and dry it for long time with my heatgun.
After removing all silicone and drying out the damp areas I moved onto grout colouring. For grout colouring I used our epoxy based grout colourant. It has a dual purpous as it rejuvenates and seals the grout. Grout colourant gets applied on with special cut toothbrush and anything left on tiles gets wiped off after application.
Done with grout colouring I moved onto applying the silicone sealant to all around bath. I always use long lasting highest quality mould resistant silicone sealant. In Quality Tile Care we pride ourselves in getting perfect grout lines every single time. I followed the sealant process up with filling in the cracks and holes with flexible waterproof filler.
After filling in the cracks and holes I filled the bath with water. This streches out the silicone so you won't get any suprises later. Customer was very happy with the result and promised to use our services again, which makes us more then happy. We must be doing something right if people are returning!
