Can my fiberglass tub be repaired and refinished?

By

The answer is yes! Refinishing is a great method for repairing fiberglass and making it like new. After only a few years, many fiberglass tubs, showers and shower/tub units can become dull and even worse, they can develop cracks and holes that cause water leaks.

Miracle Method Fiberglass Bathtub refinishingOn the bright side, Miracle Method can repair those stress and structure cracks, and make your bathtub or shower more beautiful than the day it was installed. We use only the most advanced resins and fiberglass tub refinishing materials to repair unsightly cracks, holes and damage. We can even restore or change the color of your fixture to your utmost satisfaction. We offer a variety of colors and textures including our Natural Accent stone-look finishes.

Another important thing to know about fiberglass refinishing is that most one-piece shower/tub units are built into the  structural framing of the walls. This makes removing them very labor-intensive and costly. Miracle Method refinishing does not remove the fixture but rather refinishes it right in-place saving you as much as 75 percent compared to the cost of removal and replacement.

How does tile shower and shower pan refinishing work?

Before and after tile shower refinishing

Before and after tile shower refinishing from Miracle Method.

Shower pans can become stained for many reasons, including years and years of mineral build-up. If your shower pan is stained and it seems like you’ve tried everything you can to get it clean without success, don’t replace it, consider hiring Miracle Method to refinish it!

Refinishing a tile shower and shower pan is similar to refinishing a bathtub in that it includes multiple steps. The first step involves a  cleaning process to remove contaminants such as soap scum, body oil and dirt. The next step is to float the grout. This entails using a squeegee to evenly spread a small amount of grout over the surface to fill in gaps and even out grout lines. Then the tile is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied and several coats of hi-tech acrylic are used to finalize the refinishing.

You can go from an old, stained shower pan and outdated tile to a shower that not only looks like new, but is much easier to clean!  Another unique benefit of refinishing tile showers and tile shower pans is that once refinished, the tile grout lines are also refinished and permanently sealed so no more scrubbing stained and moldy grout lines!  To find the nearest Miracle Method location use our store locator, or call 855-212-7337.

How can I make a bathroom safer?

According to the CDC, every year one in three seniors ages 65 and older falls. These falls can lead to injuries such as hip fractures, head trauma and can even be fatal. Fortunately, these falls are largely preventable. One way to prevent falls is to make sure that your living space is equipped with the proper safety products, especially in the most dangerous room in your house–the bathroom! Miracle Method Grab Bars

There are many ways to make your bathroom a safer place. Having products like curved shower rods, hand-held shower nozzles and grab bars installed is one way to ensure your safety. Grab bars are especially important because they can allow you to feel more confident getting in and out of the shower.
