Master Shower Makeover

So we all know our house is old. Like really old. Like 1930's and we have an original nuclear attack 'to do' sheet listing what to do with women and children within the household. And when it comes to showers, they were sparse back in those days meaning we were lucky to find a house with a good one. Sure it's only about 2.5 feet wide, but it's in great condition and we LOVE our rain shower head.

The problem that we faced when we moved in was some mold on the grout and behind the clear caulking. It's been over 2 years now and that mold has grown. (Mostly because we're lazy, but I'll blame it on our hard water). I decided it was time for a nice shower makeover. I called the Grout Medic and set up an appointment to get that baby cleaned and they were out within a couple of weeks. The total process only took about 3 hours and we just had to wait to shower for about 24 hours due to the technician applying all new caulking.

Here are some before and after pics:





Honestly, I'm not even going to go into detail as to what all they did. You can tell by the pictures how well their machines and chemicals worked. Our shower is now sparkling clean and so much better than before!

It was SO worth the money to feel like you're showering in a brand new shower again!

    We need this done desperately in a couple of our bathrooms. Not only are the showers a mess, but the floors are too. Is it expensive? I've been trying to get everything clean myself and it isn't happening. Did you have to grout or caulk again? Thanks for sharing this!

    Maureen-it was only $200 and they stripped the old caulk and put in new after cleaning! Super cheap and it looks so good. They also clean floors, backsplash and tons of other stuff!

    That looks great! I have to admit I don't clean our showers nearly as often as I should, but it sure is nice to get in there once I've done it and feel extra clean!
