Grout Cleaning & Sealing

When the grout is sound but filthy — restoration without removal.

Not every ugly shower needs regrouting. If your Cromwell grout is stained but solid — no crumbling, no missing sections, no musty wall behind it — a professional deep clean plus sealer restores it for a few hundred dollars instead of a thousand-plus. We scrub what mops can't reach, treat rust and soap-scum staining, neutralize, and lock it in with penetrating sealer (or color-seal for a uniform new-grout look).

Cromwell notes

Hard water rules much of Cromwell's grout staining: Builder-grade tub-shower combos from the 80s and 90s dominate: one-piece surrounds, plastic trim, grout-free but ugly. Homeowners keep the tub footprint and gain everything by tiling the walls properly. Cleaning plus sealer buys years — and when it won't, our free assessment says regrout, with reasons you can verify.

  • Deep extraction clean. Alkaline scrub + extraction lifts years of embedded soil.
  • Stain treatment. Rust, hard-water and soap-scum addressed individually.
  • Penetrating sealer. Invisible shield, reapplied on schedule, included.
  • Color-seal option. Uniform grout color + stain-proof coating in one.
  • Honest triage. If cleaning won't hold, we say so before taking your money.

FAQ

Common questions

What does 'deep clean' mean exactly?

Alkaline scrub to dissolve embedded soil, targeted stain treatment, extraction rinse, neutralizing, then penetrating sealer. Mops move dirt; this removes it.

Clean-and-seal vs. regrout — how do I choose?

Free triage decides: sound-but-stained = clean ($250–$600); crumbling/missing = regrout. We show you the pick test and meter readings either way.

What is color-seal?

A pigmented sealer that uniforms grout color and adds a stain-proof coating — the 'new grout' look without removal, $150–$400 over cleaning. Lasts years with basic care.

Will stains come back?

Sealed grout resists re-staining dramatically; unsealed grout re-soils in months. That's why sealer is included, not optional, in every cleaning.
