Shower glass cleaning and restoration in New Zealand

The shower is one of the most used areas of your home, meaning that over time, shower glass can become stained and etched by the minerals in the water supply. While you may think that replacing the glass is your only option, you can save money on replacement costs and opt for shower glass restoration instead.

At GroutPro, we specialise in shower glass cleaning and restoration, removing stubborn stains and protecting your glass with a durable shower glass coating to keep it cleaner for longer.

Advantages of shower glass restoration

If you’ve tried every product and cleaning hack under the sun to clean your shower glass and still have no luck, it might be time to call the professionals. And here’s why:

  • Less Cleaning, More Shine: A professional shower glass cleaning and coating makes future cleaning easier by reducing water spots and soap scum buildup.
  • Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement: Shower glass restoration saves you hundreds, eliminating the need for new glass while extending its lifespan.
  • Eco-Friendly Choice: Instead of sending perfectly good glass to the landfill, restoration revives and protects your shower glass, making it a sustainable option.

Enduroshield glass protection coating

While our specialists can certainly bring your glass back to life, it’s important to protect against future buildup and water spotting as well. Unprotected glass will always degrade, bringing you back to square one, as you consider whether to replace or restore once again.

Our Enduroshield Professional coating forms an invisible, anti-stick barrier on your shower glass, repelling hard water minerals, soap scum, and grime. This means:

  • Less scrubbing, more shine: Your shower stays cleaner for longer, making maintenance effortless.
  • Long-lasting protection: Enduroshield Professional lasts for years, unlike off-the-shelf DIY products that need to be reapplied every three months.
  • A sleek, crystal-clear finish: This high-performance glass guard enhances the look of your shower while keeping it protected.

Types of Glass Damage

Glass is sensitive to damage, and can easily become discoloured, stained, cracked or scratched. The level of severity can vary from mild to severe. Here are the most common types of glass damage that our specialists have dealt with in their years of experience.

Hard Water Stains

By far, hard water stains are the most common culprit when it comes to glass damage. This is because when water droplets are left on the glass, the mineral deposits etch into the glass in the shape of water drips. This can result in a hazy look, which is very stubborn to remove.

Soap Scum Stains

Like hard water, soap scum has a filmy white or grey appearance—and is also the result of mineral deposits left on the glass surface. Calcium stearate and magnesium stearate react with hard water, creating a chalky and filmy residue that can prove very difficult to clean.

Scratches

Scratches can be unsightly, tarnishing an otherwise pristine piece of glass, and are usually caused by over-aggressive cleaners. The severity of scratches can range from being invisible to the naked eye, all the way through to being the product of graffiti. Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done to remove scratches from glass so care must be taken when cleaning to minimise this risk of damage.

FAQ

  • Can all etched shower glass be restored?

    This can depend on the age and type of the glass, and what chemicals have been used to try to keep it clean. Our quoting process will determine if the glass can be restored or not.

  • How long does a shower glass coating last?

    A professional glass coating like Enduroshield Professional can last for years, unlike DIY coatings that require reapplication every few months. It forms an invisible barrier that repels soap scum, water stains, and mineral buildup, helping to keep your shower glass cleaner for longer.

  • What is the best way to clean my shower glass?

    To keep your shower glass clear, we recommend using a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or squeegee after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the surface and create more scratches. For long-term protection, a shower glass coating like Enduroshield Professional is best.

  • Why can’t I get the water marks off my shower glass?

    Water spotting is caused by minerals such as calcium, lime, and iron in the water supply sticking to the microscopic pores of the glass. When water droplets are left on the surface, they evaporate, leaving behind these stubborn stains. Over time, these minerals build up and block the clarity of the glass.

    Removing them requires specialist abrasive products and professional techniques to restore up to 80 - 90% shower glass clarity. However, in some cases, severely etched glass may not be fully restorable. The best way to minimise water marks is to wipe down your glass after every shower.
