Can a non slip surface be added to my tub or shower?

By

You’ve probably experienced this before – entering or exiting your tub or shower and stepping on a slick spot that nearly causes you to fall. Some homeowners may turn to a bath mat or those little appliqués that stick on to the surface, but eventually, the suction cups on the mats just don’t cling as well and the appliqués start to peel away, plus both can collect dirt, mold, and mildew. So what options are available now?

Miracle Method offers a slip resistant surface that is perfect for tubs and showers. When we apply our slip resistant surface, it’s chemically bonded to the surface of the tub or shower, integrating it to the surface. Our slip resistant surfaces won’t crack or peel and are installed in just one hour.

Additionally, Miracle Method’s slip resistant surfaces can be color matched to blend seamlessly with the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. There are different options for coarseness, too. And best of all, our slip resistant surfaces are very easy to clean and are very sanitary – no mold or mildew to worry about with these surfaces!

Reduce the risk of slips, falls, and injuries with Miracle Method’s slip resistant surfaces. Visit our website to learn more or give us a call at 855-212-7337.

What can be done with the ugly tile around my bathtub?

Bathroom tile refinishingReplacing bathroom tile just because it’s an ugly color, there’s broken tile, or the grout needs repair is quite costly, messy and rather unnecessary.

Think about what it takes to replace tile: it will have to be chiseled off of the wall and the backer board replaced, which is very messy. You will also need to protect the bathtub from any falling tools or tile. It will take a lot of patience and a good tile saw to make sure the tile goes in flush. Furthermore, you must count the time that the bathtub will be out of commission. Why not avoid this headache and call Miracle Method for a free tile refinishing estimate?

With Miracle Method, you can have that that ugly or broken tile and grout refinished to look like new in just two days! We use a process of cleaning the tile, and applying our MM-4 bonding agent along with several hi-tech top coats to give you a durable and beautiful new look. And don’t think you have to just stick to white tile! Miracle Method offers a wide range of colors and finishes including our impressive Natural Accents™ stone look finishes.

Refinishing tile will save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. If you want to avoid the hassle and expense of replacing your unattractive tile, consider calling Miracle Method at 855-212-7337 or visit our website to find a location near you.

How can I make a bathroom safer?

By

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.

Our Miracle Method professionals use ADA placement guidelines when installing these grab bars so that homeowners and caregivers can feel confident and secure in their new bathroom safety products. Miracle Method’s goal is to provide the utmost in safety so that our elderly customers can remain independent and living in their homes longer.

For more information on the installation of grab bars and other bathroom safety products, visit our website to Find a Location or call 855-212-7337 to speak to the nearest Miracle Method professional.

Does a refinished bathtub require special care and cleaning?

By

Common questions about a refinished tub are….Does it need special treatment?  Is it going to be durable enough?  How long will it last?  How do I clean it?

The hi-tech acrylic resins used by Miracle Method are so hard and durable that we have seen jobs that still look great after 15 years or more.  Our finishes are strong and bonded onto the original surface with a proprietary bonding agent, called MM4, that has a 30 year track record.  It is because of our MM4 that we can offer a meaningful 5 year warranty that guarantees against any delamination of the new finish.

Our finishes do not need special treatment.  In fact, our care and cleaning instructions are very similar to the care and cleaning instructions you will find with brand new bathtubs from Kohler or American Standard.  These manufacturers recommend non-abrasive liquid cleansers.  Avoid using abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals like bleach as well as any product with strong acids such as Lime Away or Draino.

Clean Tub

With proper care your Miracle Method Tub should last 15 years or more.

Some cleaners are more effective than others.  Miracle Method produces and offers a very effective bath and shower cleaner called Mira-Clean.  It is safe for refinished tubs, yet equally effective on non-refinished tubs and showers.

Whichever cleaner you select, spray your tub and let it soak and penetrate the dirtier areas for several minutes. After 3 to 5 minutes, use a soft sponge or a brush designed for Teflon surfaces to scrub the surface, then rinse thoroughly.  Products like steel wool, abrasive sponges, and aggressive scotch bright pads will quickly damage most any tub finish…don’t use these!

These simple tips will extend the life of your tub while keeping it free of harmful bacteria, soap scum, and mineral deposits. Call 855-212-7337 to find a Miracle Method professional near you.
