Many people purchase homes that are less than perfect with the thought of fixing it up. That fix up usually includes a bathroom with out of date colors on the bathtub and tile. You can only stand a green, pink or yellow tub and tile so long, but tear out and replacement is expensive. DIY tub and tile refinishing kits sold in Home Depot or Lowe’s appear to be a solution, but you need to think this through before your open that box and use it.
Ask yourself…Would you repaint your own car? Refinishing involves many of the same skills and materials used by professional auto body craftsmen. When you consider that 25% of all work performed by Miracle Method is redoing someone’s attempt to refinish a bathtub, you should think twice before using a DIY bathtub refinishing kit on your bathtub. Additionally, using a DIY kit will usually only camouflage the problem or fail to adhere – causing you to spend more time and money on a solution.
An affordable alternative is to have the professionals from your local Miracle Method Surface Refinishing franchise refinish your tub to a like-new look and feel. Our process includes many steps that are not in a DIY kit, such as removing the old caulk, a thorough cleaning of the tub’s surface; the application of our MM-4 bonding agent, which will ensure the new coating will endure; porcelain chip repair if necessary; several coats of our high tech acrylic urethane to make the surface event; buffing and polishing to create a high gloss shine that will resemble new porcelain and application of new caulk. Best of all, our process is completed in two days or less and is with savings of up to 75% over the cost of replacement.
