September 4, 2012 By miraclemethod

Perhaps you have a cracked tile in your shower or some that keep coming loose, no matter how many times you caulk them. Regardless, you’re ready for a new look – one that’s easy to maintain and doesn’t make you cringe when you take a shower. You’re thinking about a solid surface replacement, but you simply don’t have the time or budget for that or a complete remodel of your bathroom, and you feel as though your options are starting to dwindle.

The good news is Miracle Method has a beautiful and affordable solution! Our technicians can repair cracked or chipped tiles, float in new grout, and refinish your tile in the color of your choice. We can even give you the look of stone with our Natural Accents™ finishes. These hi-tech acrylic coatings will permanently seal the grout lines, locking out dirt and grime for good! And, you’ll be able to use your shower in about 24 to 36 hours after the refinishing process is complete. The sealed grout lines also create a moisture barrier and nearly eliminate the return of mold and mildew.

Before: A tile shower in need of a color change.

My husband dropped a wrench and chipped our tub. How can I fix it?

August 31, 2012 By miraclemethod

Like many men, your husband is a “fix-it-yourself” kind of guy, so when your tub’s faucet started leaking, he grabbed his toolbox and went to work. As he finished up, he dropped his wrench in the tub and the wrench chipped the tub. He suggested heading down to the hardware store to buy a patch kit, but you are worried about water leaking through and want a better solution.

Replacing the tub is not an option, as you simply don’t have the budget for that. You consider a bathtub liner, but those are expensive, too, and often more problematic. You begin to research your options online and that’s when you discover Miracle Method.

Our bathtub refinishing services include repairing chips and cracks that occur during shipping, installation, or accidents like a dropped wrench. We use waterproof, polyester resins to fill the cracks and chips. After sanding and filling them properly, our technicians apply acrylic enamel coatings. Then, the repaired area is meticulously blended into the surrounding surface so well that it is practically invisible! Best of all, our repairs are completed in place and you’ll be able to use your tub again in just a day or two.

DIY kit repairs often leave a lumpy surface and rarely match the color of your tub. Miracle Method professional technicians are training in color matching, whether it’s Kohler white, American Standard white or even avocado green. We can make it look like it never happened.

Before: A chip on a tub in need of repair.

After: Evidence of the chip is long gone!

Miracle Method’s repair services include:

Porcelain bathtub repair
Porcelain chip repair
Porcelain sink repair
Tile grout repair
Cultured marble repair, including elimination of thermal cracks
Fiberglass bathtub repair
Fiberglass shower crack repair
Acrylic bathtub repair
Hot tub repair
Jacuzzi hot tub repair

Can I use a bathmat on my refinished tub?

August 30, 2012 By miraclemethod

Many homeowners have turned to Miracle Method Surface Refinishing to refinish and transform bathtubs that are damaged, hard to clean, or an outdated color, but our services don’t stop there. Often times, homeowners ask us what they can do to keep their tubs from becoming a slick spot with an accident waiting to happen.

The great thing about Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is that our services don’t stop with refinishing bathtubs – we offer a slip resistant surface option for bathtubs and shower pans that’s a much better option than using a bathmat or stick-on appliques. You see, our slip resistant surfaces are applied by chemically bonding and integrating it into the bottom of the bathtub or shower. Unlike a bathmat or applique, our slip resistant surface will not collect mold, mildew, or dirt, so it is easy to clean. Best of all, you are able to choose the color and coarseness of the slip resistant surface that Miracle Method will apply to your bathtub or shower.

This tub was refinished to include a slip resistant surface, which has been tinted to show its location.

Bathing shouldn’t be a threat to your personal safety, and Miracle Method can help by applying a lasting slip resistant surface to your bathtub or shower. Visit our website for more information, or get in touch with a franchise near you by using our online locator or by calling 855-212-7337.
