Bath and Shower Restoration & Maintenance
Bathrooms and showers can be a relaxing sanctuary in your home, but the high moisture and frequent use often take a toll on natural stone surfaces. Mold, mildew, soap scum, and mineral deposits can accumulate over time, making your shower walls, floors, and vanity tops look dull or discolored. At Capitol Stone Care, we specialize in bath and shower stone restoration throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our family-owned and operated team brings decades of expertise to your project—ensuring your stone surfaces look as fresh, clean, and inviting as the day they were installed.
Common Bathroom Stone Issues
- Mold & Mildew Growth
Constant humidity creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can stain grout lines, dull stone surfaces, and pose health risks if left untreated. - Soap Scum & Product Buildup
Residues from soaps, shampoos, and cleaning products can form stubborn films on natural stone, diminishing its original shine. - Mineral Deposits & Efflorescence
Hard water often leaves behind calcium or lime scale, appearing as white, chalky deposits on stone and tile. Over time, these deposits can be tough to remove without professional intervention. - Etching & Discoloration
Bathroom products containing acids or harsh chemicals may etch the stone’s finish or change its color. High acidity levels in personal care items can also contribute to dull or rough patches. - Cracks & Grout Deterioration
Continual exposure to moisture can weaken grout lines and, in some cases, lead to small cracks in the stone—especially around high-stress areas like corners or edges.
Our Bath & Shower Restoration Process
- Inspection & Diagnosis
We begin by thoroughly assessing your bathroom’s stone surfaces, identifying areas affected by mold, mildew, soap scum, mineral buildup, and any structural issues like cracks. - Deep Cleaning & Sanitizing
Using specialized, pH-neutral solutions, we remove embedded mold, mildew, soap residue, and mineral deposits without harming the stone. This step dramatically improves appearance and hygiene. - Grout & Caulk Repair (If Needed)
Next, we inspect grout and caulk lines for damage or leaks. We can replace or repair deteriorated areas, helping to prevent future water intrusion and maintain a watertight seal. - Stain & Etch Removal
For any etched or discolored sections, we employ professional honing and polishing techniques that even out the stone’s surface and restore its original vibrancy. - Polishing & Sealing We then polish the stone to your desired finish—be it a high shine or a more subtle, honed look. Finally, we apply a premium sealer that repels water and resists staining, prolonging the cleanliness and beauty of your stone.
