Small signs in the shower turn into big repairs behind the wall
A shower gets wet every day, and Florida humidity keeps it from drying out. Each of these signs means water and moisture are getting where they shouldn't.
Grout that darkens and absorbs water
Unsealed grout soaks up water, soap and body oils. It turns gray, stays damp longer after every shower, and gives mildew a place to grow.
Caulk that cracks or peels
Caulking along corners, the tub and the shower pan has a working life. Once it cracks, water runs behind the tile and into the wall and subfloor, where you can't see it until the damage is done.
Hard water film on tile and glass
Minerals in the water leave a white haze on the tile and the glass door that regular cleaners don't cut through, so the shower never looks clean even right after you scrub it.
Mildew in corners and joints
Black and pink spots come back in the same corners no matter how often you bleach them, because the moisture that feeds them is still in the grout and caulk.
What changes when you act early: the shower is sealed again, mold and mildew have far less to hold on to, and water stays where it belongs. Fixing caulk and grout now costs a fraction of replacing tile, a shower pan or a subfloor later.
Everything your shower needs to look new and stay sealed
Every shower is different. Your written quote lists each step as its own line item, so you choose exactly what to include.
Grout restoration and sealing
We deep clean the grout lines, restore an even color with a grout color seal, and add a clear protective coating so water and soap stop soaking in.
Caulking replacement
We cut out old, cracked or moldy caulk at the corners, tub, pan and fixtures and apply a fresh, mildew-resistant bead that keeps water from getting behind the tile and into the subfloor.
Hard water stain removal
We remove the mineral film from the tile and the glass shower door so the surfaces look clear again, then protect them so new deposits wipe off more easily.
Mildewcide treatment
Before we seal, we treat the grout, corners and joints with a mildewcide to kill the growth that keeps coming back, so the new seal goes on over a clean surface.
Fixture replacement
Worn shower heads, handles and trim can be replaced in the same project, so the new fixtures go in with the rest of the work instead of becoming a separate job.
Protective coating
A clear protective layer over the sealed grout and tile makes daily cleaning easier. With recommended care, its expected lifespan is 3 to 5 years.
Why restoring your shower makes sense before you remodel
If the tile itself is sound, most of what makes a shower look old lives in the grout, caulk and surface. That part can be restored.

River rock shower floors look beautiful, and they need the right seal
Pebble and river rock floors are one of the most popular shower looks right now. They feel great underfoot and give a bathroom a spa look. They also have far more grout than a tile floor, and the natural stone is porous, so without an effective seal both soak up water.
That is when the problems start: mildew settles into the joints between the stones, hard water leaves white spots on the rocks, and the floor never seems to dry or look clean.
- Deep cleaning of every stone and grout joint
- Mildewcide treatment before sealing
- Penetrating seal for the stones and the grout
- Care instructions to keep the floor looking new
With our sealing service and recommended care, you get peace of mind that your river rock floor will keep looking like new for years. With recommended care, the expected lifespan of the seal is 3 to 5 years.

Shower restoration questions
How soon can I use the shower again?
Your shower is ready to use 24 hours after we finish, once the sealer and new caulk have cured.
Can you restore my shower without replacing the tile?
In most cases, yes. If the tile itself is sound, we restore the grout, replace the caulking, remove hard water stains, treat for mildew and seal everything. If we see loose or cracked tile, we tell you in the estimate.
Why does replacing old caulking matter?
Caulk seals the joints where water collects: corners, the tub or pan, and around fixtures. When it cracks or peels, water gets behind the tile and into the wall and subfloor. Fresh caulk keeps that water out and helps you avoid much bigger repairs.
Will the mold come back?
The mildewcide treatment kills existing growth, and sealed grout and new caulk leave mold far less moisture to feed on. Good ventilation and the simple care steps we leave you help keep it from returning.
What if I notice a defect after the work is done?
Tell us and we come back to correct any defect in our work at no charge. Just send a photo to services@ohlimpio.com or call (941) 900-9232.
Can you replace my shower fixtures?
Yes. Worn shower heads, handles and trim can be replaced as part of the same project. Just include photos of the fixtures with your estimate request.
Can you seal a river rock shower floor?
Yes. We deep clean the stones and grout joints, treat for mildew, and apply a penetrating seal so the floor resists water, mildew and hard water spots. With recommended care, the expected lifespan of the seal is 3 to 5 years.
How long does the restoration last?
With the protective coating and recommended care, the expected lifespan is 3 to 5 years. The recommended care for your shower is listed in your quote.
How is shower restoration priced?
We price each shower by its size, the condition of the grout and caulk, and the options you choose, such as fixture replacement or the protective coating. Send photos and you receive an estimate within 24 hours, then a written quote before any work begins.
