Shower, Drywall and French Door Maintenance

A mission Viejo home needing re-grouting, cleaning and re-caulking in the master bathroom.

Tile:

Shower tile, BEFORE

Shower tile, AFTER

Drywall:     Before and After

Wall damage was patched and repaired,then re-textured. The replacement baseboards are re-installed and new,  ready for paint!

French Doors:  Before and After

A couple of the rooms in the home had French style doors that were physically damaged. Many large and small holes, claw marks and deep scratches, loose hinges/hardware, as well. The doors had to be replaced. This involved cutting to fit, boring holes, mortising the  hinges and repairing/aligning hardware.

Another Bathtub/Shower Enclosure

The same house. Working on The main Hallway Bathroom.

The corners of the tile, the frame of the glass tub/shower doors, and window sill and frame, tub spout, soap dish, plus the tile at the corners to the ceiling all had mold or missing grout and caulking and/or both. The damaged areas all had to be parged/cleaned completely out of mold, deteriorated caulking, and loose/dirty grout.

After the damaged areas are scrapped, and cleared free of old caulking, mold, loose grout and dirt, then is ready to be re-grouted and then caulked/sealed as necessary. It's very important to clear out molded areas, because the mold can shorten the life of the new caulking. While the whole process of fixing the tub/shower is labor intensive, the new caulking also takes about 8 hours to cure as well.
