In a busy San Tan Valley house the kids' shower and the primary shower both run every day, and hard water builds up on the tile and in the grout faster than anyone has time to scrub it.
Pfaff Cleaning Co. is locally owned, with the owners overseeing every job. See our full process and service area on the main shower cleaning & restoration page.

You should not have to block out an afternoon to find out what a shower costs. Send a picture with the buildup visible and we will price it the same day. A 3x5 shower with light soap film and a 3x5 shower with ten years of calcium on stone are not the same job, and a photo tells us which one we are looking at.
From jobs across the Valley.
Hard water in the Valley leaves calcium and scale on everything, and in a shower it goes onto the tile, the metal, and down into the grout. A dedicated hard water cleaner takes the deposits off, and on most showers the difference is dramatic.
Etching is different. Once mineral has bitten into the surface of glass or soft stone, that is damage rather than buildup, and nothing takes it out. Run a fingertip across it: rough means etching, smooth but cloudy usually means deposit. We check it and tell you which you have before we start.
We do not take a razor blade to glass or tile. It is the fastest way to move bonded calcium and it is also how glass gets scratched permanently and glazed tile gets chipped. We do not put an acidic cleaner on travertine, marble, or limestone either, because that etches on contact.
Bonded calcium that has been building for years is the honest case. We work it with the right product and real dwell time and we get what is gettable without wrecking the surface underneath. Sometimes that is a shower you would swear was new. Sometimes it is a big improvement with some deposit still in the stone. We tell you which one you are looking at rather than promising you the first and delivering the second.
Soap film and surface calcium usually come off. So does the orange or pink staining in grout, which is normally bacteria rather than a dye, and most mildew in the grout lines. Pebble floors and mosaic pans improve a lot, though the deeper texture holds onto more than a flat tile does.
Etching does not. Neither does grout that has discolored unevenly over years, where color sealing is the real answer, or caulk that has failed through, which needs cutting out and redoing.
We do not regrout a whole shower from scratch. Repairing cracked or missing sections is our work, and tearing the grout out of an entire enclosure is a tile contractor job. We do not replace, repair, or remove tile, we do not do shower glass, and we do not replace caulk.
What we will do is tell you which problem you have. People spend hundreds having etched glass restored when nothing was ever going to take it out, and knowing that before you call anybody is worth real money.
Most showers here came out of the same builder playbook: a tub and tile surround in the hall bath and a walk-in tile shower in the primary, often with a niche or a bench. Grout lines run floor to ceiling, and every one of them takes on soap film and calcium.
A shower that is only ten years old can still have scale bonded into the grout and dark lines along the floor where the water sits after every use.

Deposits still sitting on the surface usually come off with a dedicated hard water cleaner. We tell you which one you have before we start.
Usually. That is normally bacteria and soap residue in the grout rather than a dye, and it comes out with the right cleaner and agitation. Grout that has discolored unevenly over years is a color problem, and color sealing is the fix for that.
We repair cracked or missing grout in showers. We do not tear out and regrout an entire shower from scratch, which is a tile contractor job, and we say so before we come out rather than after.
No, we do not do shower glass work. What we will do is tell you whether your glass is etched or just covered in deposit, because that decides whether it is worth paying anyone at all.
Yes, and plenty of them hold up for years. We do not guarantee shower color sealing the way we guarantee floors, because constant water, soap, and moisture behind the tile are things no one controls.
