By

If you are considering owning your own business, it’s important to make sure that there is a market for the products and services your business will offer. Because refinishing is a service that nearly every home, hotel, and apartment could use and benefit from, it makes great sense to consider owning a Miracle Method franchise.

As a matter of fact, any property with a bath or kitchen is a potential prospect for refinishing services. Miracle Method’s surface refinishing process can restore all kinds of bathtubs; ceramic tile walls, showers, vanities, and even kitchen countertops to a like-new look and feel. Plus chips, scratches, and cracks can all be repaired, giving most fixtures around an additional 15 years or more of usable life! When you think of all of the homes, hotels, and apartments with kitchens or baths in need of a restored surface or an updated look, you can really begin to see the potential a Miracle Method franchise has.

Along with the broad demand for refinishing services, there are a number of other advantages to owning a Miracle Method franchise, such as the following:

  • Minimized risk – Working with a reputable franchise with a proven business model.
  • Name recognition – A well-recognized brand name will draw in customers who feel confident in working with a national franchise vs. an independent with no national support or accountability.
  • Training – Miracle Method provides a regimented training program that teaches franchisees about its services and business operations.
  • Advertising – Professionally designed ad campaigns to promote your business both locally and nationally.

My elderly mother has trouble getting in and out of the tub, how can I make it easier for her?

By

The Council on Aging estimates that over 25,000 accidents occur in and around the tub area each year. As we grow older, our mobility isn’t the same as it was when we were young, and some find it difficult to get in and out of the tub. This can lead to slips, trips, and falls, which can cause serious injuries. The need for easier access to the tub becomes essential.

Miracle Method offers the Easy Step – an alternative to replacing your current tub with a walk-in tub, as the Easy Step converts the tub into a shower in just one day. The Easy Step conversion process lowers one side of the tub to make entering and exiting easier and safer, as it creates a 24 inch wide by 9 inch tall notch in the side of a tub. Instead of stepping over the side of the tub, users can step through, which reduces the risk of losing your balance and falling.

Additionally, the Easy Step from Miracle Method is a very cost effective alternative to replacing a current tub with a walk-in tub. Walk-in tubs require significant amounts of time and money to install.  Walk in tubs can cost between $5000 -$10,000, but an Easy Step can often be installed for $800 – $1200. With the Easy Step, you’ll have your new, safe bathing area in just a day.  Miracle Method can also provide a complete safety package by adding Grab Bars, non-slip treatments, and hand held shower attachments.

Another wonderful benefit of the Easy Step process is that it can easily be reversed if necessary. All we need to do is reinstall the cutout and refinish it to look like new.

If you or your loved one needs easier access to bathing, visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about the Easy Step walk-in tub. You can use our online locator or call 855-212-7337 to find a Miracle Method franchise near you.

How can I change the tile floor in my bathroom?

By

We’ve often talked about how the Miracle Method refinishing process can transform the look of tubs, showers, and even kitchen countertops, but our process can also be used to transform the look of tile floors, too. If you’ve got hard-to-clean bathroom tile floors with stained grout lines and are thinking about replacing the tile floor, why not consider what Miracle Method’s refinishing process can do for your floors?

Miracle Method can repair cracked or loose tiles, float in new grout, and refinish your tile floors so that they will look like new. We can refinish your tile floors to the color of your choice, or even use our Natural Accents stone finish so that your floors look like marble or granite, but at a fraction of the cost!

Our tile floor refinishing process consists of a two-step cleaning process to remove dirt, grime, and wax deposits so that no contaminants interfere with the adhesion of the new finish. We’ll also repair the grout, if needed, and after the grout is dry and chemically clean, we’ll apply our Miracle Method MM-4 bonding agent to ensure the adhesion of the new coating.

Once refinished with hi-tech acrylic coatings, your tile floors will have a new finish and a clean appearance…and best of all, the grout lines will be permanently sealed and much easier to clean!  Your refinished tile floor will be more sanitary because the porous grout lines are sealed and you’ll be able to use your new tile floor in as little as 24 to 48 hours after the refinishing process is complete.

If you are tired of having to clean your bathroom’s tile floors over and over again, visit the Miracle Method website today to learn more about our tile floor refinishing process. To find the Miracle Method franchise closest to you, use our online locator or call 855-212-7337.

The bottom of my fiberglass tub/shower has cracked, can it be repaired?

By

There are many factors that can cause a fiberglass tub or shower to crack or become damaged in some way. Sometimes fixtures are damaged during the shipping process, or even during installation. Damage can also be a result of heavy or sharp objects falling onto the surface accidentally. Most often, cracks are a result of improper installation or support of the fixture. If you’ve got a crack in your fiberglass tub or shower and think you’ll need to replace it, think again.

The types of damage we’ve described above can be easily repaired, and it makes perfect sense to do so when the fixture is in good condition otherwise. Along with refinishing services, Miracle Method offers repair services that can quickly repair the damage and return your fiberglass tub or shower to a usable state – quickly and inexpensively. In fact, most single repairs often cost under $350. The cost of bathtub replacement can exceed $3000.

Our bathtub repair service uses waterproof, polyester resins and fiberglass fabrics to completely rebuild a weak or damaged area.  After the repaired area has been properly filled and sanded, we carefully apply an acrylic enamel resin, usually with an artist’s airbrush. Then, we blend the repaired area into the surrounding surface so that it’s practically invisible. Often we add a non-slip treatment to the bottom to improve bathing safety. We find that with our repair system that the damaged area is usually stronger and better than the original.

Along with fiberglass, Miracle Method’s bathtub repair services include porcelain bathtub repair, porcelain chip repair, tile grout repair, acrylic bathtub repair, hot tub repair, and even Jacuzzi hot tub repair.

To learn more about our bathtub repair services, visit the Miracle Method website. If you’re in need of our repair services, use our online locator to find the Miracle Method franchise closest to you.

My countertops need to be replaced, what are my options?

By

When your kitchen countertops become outdated or damaged, it’s time to make a change. The first solution one might think of is to completely replace the countertops with a brand new surface such as Corian or Silestone. While new countertops may seem like a valid option, the replacement process takes up anywhere from seven days to a few weeks and is quite costly – and those factors alone may cause some consumers to re-think that decision.

Another option is to refinish your old countertops. The Miracle Method process is a great option because refinishing repairs any damage and restores the existing surface to a like-new appearance, as well as extends the life of the countertops up to 15 years or more. Additionally, refinished kitchen countertops are repairable, guaranteed, and can be used in just a few days after refinishing.

Miracle Method offers a wide selection of colors and texture options, so you can match your existing décor. You can also have the look of stone with Miracle Method’s revolutionary product called Natural Accents at a fraction of the cost of a real stone countertop.

The biggest advantage of refinishing, by far, is the savings when compared to replacement. Countertop refinishing usually saves homeowners between 30% and 50% over the total cost of replacement!

We invite you to visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about the option of countertop refinishing. And if you are ready to refinish with Miracle Method, use our online locator to find the Miracle Method franchise closest to you.
