Slip-Resistant Showers and Tubs Great for Retirement Communities and Nursing Homes

By

Retirement communities and nursing homes have a higher chance of a resident slipping and falling while taking a shower or bath, for obvious reasons. Installing a slip-resistant shower surface can help reduce these falls, which is one reason Miracle Method offers this bathing safety advancement for these communities in particular but also all customers. We believe it is vital that people of all ages or health can enjoy the comfort of using their bathing without the risk of injuring themselves.

Here are the benefits of having your bathtub or shower pan refinished with the slip-resistant surface offered by Miracle Method:

  • It is chemically bonded to the shower or bathtub and this reduces the chances of them cracking/peeling
  • It is economical and requires less time to install (approximately 1 day) due to their simplistic nature
  • It won’t collect mold and mildew like bathmats, it is easy to clean and much more sanitary
  • It won’t collect dirt, mildew, etch completely into the tub, or crack and become unsightly like appliqués

Aged retiring communities and home care nursing facilities can benefit from Miracle Method’s installation of slip resistant surfaces because they also include the installation of handheld shower nozzles, grab bars, and curved shower rods so as to increase the safety of the users. To learn more about Miracle Method’s bathing options, visit your nearest Miracle Method showroom or our website.

Conveniently, Miracle Method can install a bonded, slip-resistant surface that will not peel in just one hour, is sanitary and easy to clean, and that even color matches the surface to your tub or shower pan. Learn more about Miracle Method’s Bathroom Safety Package today!

Is refinishing just a cover up like bathtub liners?

By

We are often asked the difference between bathtub liners and surface refinishing. Simply put, liners are covers placed over your existing bathtub while refinishing restores the existing surface to like new.

Bathtub liners are made of sheets of PVC plastic or acrylic, which are molded to the shape of an existing bathtub. The liner is then placed over a tub and glued to the top of that tub to cover it up. When you opt for a liner, you will sacrifice the deep gloss look of a restored porcelain tub for the look and feel of plastic. When you place a liner over your bathtub, you also lose additional space in the tub, making it smaller than the original size. The important thing to know about bathtub liners is they can, and usually will develop leaks over time, which can lead to mold, mildew, and a “squishy” feeling when one steps into the tub.

Need to read more about why NOT to get a liner? Here are some additional facts about bathtub liners to take note of:

  • Bathtub liners usually cost between $1,300 and $1,500. A wall liner system can also increase your project bill to over $3,000.
  • It takes several weeks to go from measurements to the installation of bathtub liner.
  • A licensed plumber is usually needed when a liner is installed because the extra thickness usually requires an extension of the drain and overflow.Bathtub Liner Removal

Bathtub refinishing, on the other hand, is a cost-effective and quick alternative for an old, worn out, or outdated bathtub. Miracle Method uses a proprietary non-acid refinishing process for guaranteed restoration of porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, and cultured marble bathtubs. We’ll clean the tub, repair cracks and chips, and then apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure a solid bond between the old surface and new finish. Lastly, one of our trained professionals will use a fine-finish spray process to apply a hi-tech, durable acrylic coating. The result will be a gorgeous tub that looks like new and for a fraction of the cost of a new tub or liner!

Mr. Simmons was raised in Indiana, and moved to Georgia and started out remodeling homes, then moved into building houses including a number of them in Cobb, Georgia.

Since 2012, together with his wife Kay, Mike has been the proud owner of a Miracle Method franchise in Northwest Atlanta.

Since the beginning, the Simmons’ Marietta-based franchise has done a number of jobs across the North Metro Atlanta area, spanning from Paulding to Gwinnett counties. Outside of residential work, much of their works has been has been for commercial properties, including hospitals, schools, universities and hotels.

The Simmons’ franchise employs 11 people and up to 16 during the busiest times of the year, generating over 1 million in revenues in 2015.
Mike and Kay were the recipients of the President’s Award for 2015, which is hand selected by Miracle Method President Chuck Pistor to recognize Exemplary Service and Commitment to the network.

Miracle Method of Northwest Atlanta is preparing to begin one of their biggest projects in their 4 year history – refurbishing an estimated 340 bathrooms and floors at a university campus, mostly dorm bathrooms but also other areas including a tiled foyer. They will begin the work during the school’s Spring break while the students are off campus. Any work that is not completed during Spring break will be finished during the summer.
