Travertine Shower Restoration
Scale, soap scum, failed grout and old caulk, stripped out and rebuilt.
Complete Shower Restoration Services
Kansas City water is hard, and a shower takes it every day. Scale and soap scum build up on the tile, grout fails at the corners, and caulk goes dark. We strip it back to clean tile, cut out and replace what has failed, and seal it so it resists staining. Most staining comes out. Some staining in porous stone is permanent, and we tell you which before we start.
Travertine showers need their own approach. The stone is full of small pores and holes, and hard-water scale settles into them. Most scale removers are acids that etch travertine while they work, so we take the scale off with products and pads that are safe for the stone. Where the walls or floor have already been etched dull, we hone them back to an even finish. Then the stone gets a penetrating sealer.
Our Shower Restoration Process:
- Deep Cleaning: Remove all soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits
- Mold and Mildew: Cut out of the joints and corners, not painted over
- Grout Restoration: Repair damaged grout and apply color sealing
- Caulk Replacement: Remove old caulk and apply fresh, mold-resistant seal
- Surface Protection: Apply a sealer to slow future staining
- Glass Scale Removal: Hard-water spotting cleaned off the glass
