Water is a necessity for life, but it can wreak havoc if it seeps into the wrong places in your home, and the results can be extremely costly. Whether it’s a neglected gap, a porous substance or an aging seal, water always finds a way to flow. Unfortunately, what comes next is mould, mildew, filmy buildup or thousands of dollars in damage from a leak.
To avoid this mental and financial strain, having a trustworthy company on your side can make all the difference.
“Keeping water in, and only where you want it, is critical in a bathroom,” says Murray Englesjord of Shower Shine in South Delta, whose company prides itself on values centred around tried-and-true old-fashioned reliability and honesty.
“The bathroom is not only one of the wettest rooms in the house but also one of the most expensive. Mould and property damage from leaks can be extremely expensive and time-consuming to repair.”
Englesjord is a South Delta resident and has raised his family within the community. As a result, he has a sincere and honest interest in helping his Delta neighbours. As a Red Seal Journeyman Glazier for 33 years, Englesjord has spent the past 15 years operating another reputable local business, VanGo Glass, repairing and replacing shower doors for homeowners.
In recent years, he’s had an increasing number of clients asking for recaulking and other shower repairs. Recognizing this growing need for maintenance and rejuvenation services, Englesjord transitioned from Van Go Glass to Shower Shine in January 2024.
Tapping into long-term savings
Shower Shine offers a wide range of shower repair and maintenance services; recaulking, tile/grout cleaning and sealing, shower door repairs and adjustments and replacements for any hardware, including door gaskets and shower handles.
The company also implements leak prevention measures and identifies any possible weak spots to address before potential problems arise. An increasingly popular service with Englesjord’s clients is the application of an ‘easy-clean coating’ to shower doors – comparable to Rain-X on your vehicle’s windshield but lasting years – helping homeowners prolong function and aesthetics along with providing a 10-year warranty.
Englesjord emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance: “Grout and glass sealing are most effective when done right away (i.e., on brand new surfaces) and grout sealing should be maintained about once every three years to ensure the grout remains water repellant.”
His ultimate goal is to help homeowners reduce the need for total renovations on showers, resulting in less stress, fewer headaches and more savings.
Englesjord prioritizes customer satisfaction above all else, often recommending other local tradespeople if it's in his customer's best interest. In terms of work ethic, Englesjord points to the transformations made by Shower Shine through before and after photos on his website, which highlight the significant improvements in both function and appearance.
“It’s amazing what a little regular maintenance can do to rejuvenate a bathroom,” he says. “And it can save the homeowner so much money and time in the long run.”
With an infallible commitment to reliability, honesty and customer satisfaction, Englesjord and his team at Shower Shine are dedicated to helping homeowners protect their investments and enjoy their bathrooms for years to come.
