How does bathtub refinishing compare to bathtub liners?

By

What are your options when your bathtub is UGLY?  Maybe your problems are the tub is hard-to-clean, dull and stained, or just the wrong color.

Bathtub liners, which are sheets of PVC plastic or acrylic that have been molded to the shape of an existing tub and then glued down, are sometimes marketed as an alternative to actually repairing and restoring the bathtub. However, there are quite a few disadvantages that bathtub liners present that consumers should be aware of before making a final decision.

First of all, when you choose a bathtub liner, you must sacrifice the beautiful look of a restored porcelain tub for the look and feel of plastic. Liners are also rather expensive, costing as much as $1,300 – and if you want to add in a wall system, soap dishes, and other similar features, the cost can rise up to $3,000 or more!

Additionally, bathtub liners can develop leaks between the old tub and the liner, which can easily lead to mold and mildew if water penetrates through even the smallest of cracks or seams. They also do wear out over time and must be replaced, which proves to be difficult since the liner is glued into place at the point of installation.

Refinishing, on the other hand, provides you with a like-new look and feel. Refinishing is a much more cost-effective way to restore your bathtub – the cost of refinishing with Miracle Method is generally between $475 and $600, depending on the location and condition of the tub. And, if you choose to refinish both your tub and the tile surround, the cost ranges between $900 and $1200 – that’s about 30% to 50% cheaper than the cost of a bathtub liner!

Don’t cover up your problems with a liner… restore and refinish your existing tub and save money!

We Were Green Before Green was Popular…

By

Over the past several years, there has been great emphasis in the building industry on going green and incorporating products and materials into new and existing structures that have little to no impact on the environment. While the idea of going green is still a relatively new concept to some, it is nothing new to Miracle Method.

Miracle Method was green before green was popular! We have been “recycling” through our refinishing process for over 30 years by restoring all types of tubs, tile showers, vanities, sinks, and even kitchen countertops. By refinishing, we can extend the useful life of most bath and kitchen fixtures by 15 years or more. This not only allows consumers to get more use out of their fixtures, but refinishing also reduces the amount of unnecessary waste that ends up in landfills.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry estimates that a typical remodeling project produces between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot. With surface refinishing from Miracle Method, you can significantly decrease the amount of waste generated from your project, which also contributes to a better environment. In addition, Miracle Method avoids using toxic acids commonly used by other refinishers. To learn more about our unique refinishing processes, please check out our website at http://www.miraclemethod.com.

Go green with your remodel by refinishing instead of replacing!

The holidays are right around the corner, and for those who will be hosting family and friends throughout this busy season, now is the time to begin sprucing up your home for the holidays. Along with making sure your guest bedrooms are ready to welcome visitors, you’ll also want to make sure your kitchen and bathrooms are in shape, too.

Updating your kitchen and bathrooms is a quick and painless process when you choose to refinish with Miracle Method. We can typically complete the work within a two to three day time frame, which means your space will only be out of commission for a few days, as opposed to a few months if you were to remodel. Plus, refinishing can extend the life of your existing bathroom and kitchen fixtures by up to 15 years or more.

Additionally, we offer a variety of color options, so you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your kitchen or bathroom’s new and improved look. Our Natural Accents stone colors are a very popular choice, as they have the multi-color appearance and the texture of a natural stone, but for a fraction of the cost.

Our Natural Accents product is a great alternative to replacing your countertops.

Miracle Method offers a cost-effective and timely approach to updating the appearance of your kitchen or bathroom in time for your holiday visitors. Visit our online locator to find a Miracle Method franchise near you, or call 855-212-7337.
