What Can You Do With Ugly Tile Walls?

By

Your bathroom is a place where you rejuvenate, relax and refresh. It’s a room you should love. So, what do you do if you don’t love your ugly tile walls?  What do you do with tile with outdated colors, grout lines that are cracked, stained, or moldy? White Tile Before After

You can tear out the existing tile and replace it with something else, but that’s messy, time-consuming and expensive.

At Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, we have a quick, clean, and affordable option for you. Don’t retile your walls. Instead, have the existing tile refinished.

With the Miracle Method process, we will transform your bath by creating a sparkling, like-new look and feel:

  1. First, we use a two-step cleaning process to remove any dirt, oil, and other residue from the tile walls.
  2. We repair any cracked or damage tile.
  3. Then, we “float” additional grout over the existing grout, if necessary, to fill any voids and create a smoother appearance.
  4. Once the grout is dry, we clean the tiles again and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure that the new finish will adhere to the old.
  5. Finally, we apply our hi-tech acrylic coatings to produce a smooth, durable, even finish.

Miracle Method offers an extensive collection of colors and textures to choose from, including our Natural Accents™ stone finishes, so you can perfectly match your bathroom décor. Refinishing tile walls also permanently seals the grout, eliminating the need to clean or  regularly seal it.

Why bother with messy and expensive removal and replacement of ugly tile and grout when Miracle Method can refinish them quickly, affordably, and beautifully?

To learn more about our process, please visit our website at www.miraclemethod.com or give us a call at 855-212-7337 for more information. Your Miracle Method professional can offer the best pricing if you have both the bathtub and tile walls refinished at the same time. We can even finish the bathtub and walls in contrasting colors.

How Eco-Friendly Is Your Remodel?

By

Did you know that a single home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot?* It’s true. Traditional house renovations are a major contributor to overflowing landfills across the country.

At Miracle Method, we can offer you a green remodeling alternative. Don’t replace—refinish!

miracle-method-countertop-refinishingWe’ve been passionate about remodeling without demolition since the company was founded 35 years ago. Refinishing the surfaces of existing tubs, tile surrounds, bathroom vanities or kitchen countertops keeps those fixtures out of a landfill. It also reduces pollution generated by delivery, manufacture, and transportation of new fixtures.

Think about this: If you take all the tubs, tile, countertops and sinks we “recycle” in a single year by refinishing instead of throwing them away, we effectively keep more than 2,145,000 cubic feet of waste out of landfills. That’s the equivalent of more than 186 loaded pickup trucks each day.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is the nation’s largest surface refinishing network, with 135 franchises to provide beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling alternatives. Our process can save 75% over the cost of replacing, and it adds up to 15 years of life to most surfaces. Call today to get started:  855-212-7337.

Winter Break is the Perfect Time to Repair Those Leaky Shower Tiles in College Dorms

By

College dorms tend to take a real beating. After all, you have new students moving in every year. The bathrooms in particular suffer enormous wear and tear. After a certain period of time, you’re going to want to improve the bathrooms in your dorms. An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them. However, instead of remodeling your dorms’ bathrooms, you should use Miracle Method instead.

Remodeling the bathrooms is an option, but it’s an expensive one, especially when you take into account the number of bathrooms that need to be updated in your dorms. Not to mention that a remodeling project on that scale is going to take quite a bit of time. This is why you should simply consider tile repair and refinishing using Miracle Method instead. Refinishing your bathrooms won’t take long at all – you could get it done during a short student break. Not to mention that it will cost you just a fraction of the price of a remodel. You should also consider the fact that refinishing the bathrooms is more environmentally friendly since you’re continuing to get more use out of your bathroom fixtures, up to 15 more years in some cases, whereas with a remodeling project you’re sending your old fixtures to the landfill.

Something scratched my tub. How do I fix it?

By

When you purchased your home, you made a long-term goal to finish out the basement. The only completed room in your basement at that time was a bathroom, which you’ve used over the years for bathing the dog and other really messy tasks. It’s been a while since the last time you’ve used the basement bathroom, and when you take your contractor down to show them the space, you notice a long scratch on the bottom of the tub that you don’t remember seeing before. You ask about how much extra it would cost to purchase and install a new tub, and your contractor suggests refinishing the tub as a way to save money.

Refinishing the tub? As soon as he leaves, you begin to research surface refinishing and discover Miracle Method Surface Refinishing. Miracle Method franchisees help homeowners like you every day. Our surface refinishing process is a cost-effective alternative to removal and replacement of damaged bathroom fixtures like your tub. Our process involves a thorough cleansing of your tub, followed by the repair of cracks, chips and scratches to make the surface smooth and even. We follow that by applying our proprietary bonding agent, MM-4, to ensure a solid, strong bond between the old surface and the new finish. Finally, a highly trained Miracle Method professional will use a fine-finish spray process to apply a hi-tech, durable acrylic coating.

The final result is a smooth, even surface that looks and feels like new. The new finish will last for many years and you’ll have saved up to 75% over replacement costs – money that you can apply toward finishing the rest of your basement!

If you’re tub has seen better days, don’t replace! Save time and money by having Miracle Method refinish your tub. Visit our website for more details. You can find a franchise near you by calling 855-212-7337 or by using our online locator.
