Grout Color Sealing in Auburn & Placer County

Worn, blotchy grout turned one even color and sealed in the same step. Go lighter, go darker, or bring back the color it started with.

Same grout, one even color

This plank-tile floor had dark, uneven grout. Mike cleaned it and color sealed it to match the tile.

How grout color sealing works

Some grout won’t come clean evenly, no matter how well it’s scrubbed. Years of spills and traffic stain it unevenly, and the floor ends up looking patchy. Color sealing fixes that.

​

Grout gets its color from dyes the manufacturer mixes in. When it discolors, Mike tints it back to the original color with an epoxy grout stain, or to a new color if you’d like a change.

​

After a deep cleaning, Mike works a water-based epoxy grout stain into every grout line. It gives the grout one even color and seals it at the same time. It also lets you change your mind about color: dark grout that has shown every speck of dirt can go lighter, and light grout that has never looked clean can go darker.

Color sealing questions

Can dark grout really go light?

Yes. The color goes on over the grout, so it can be lighter or darker than what’s there now.

Do I still need to seal the grout afterward?

No. The color seal colors and seals the grout in the same step.

Should I color seal or regrout?

If the grout is solid but stained or uneven, color sealing is usually the simpler fix. If it’s cracked, crumbling or missing, it needs repair or regrouting first. Mike will tell you which your grout needs.

How long does color sealing last?

On floors, it lasts for years. Showers get wet every day, so plan on redoing a shower every 2 to 5 years.
