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

September 3, 2011 By miraclemethod

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!

Ceramic Tile Refinishing is Better Than Repainting or Replacing Tile

May 16, 2011 By miraclemethod

Refinishing ceramic tile is less expensive, more green, and adds more vitality to your existing tile!

Refinishing ceramic tile is less expensive than replacement, more green, and adds more vitality to your existing tile!

Miracle Method refinishes ceramic tile in much the same way that we refinish ceramic bathtubs and kitchen countertops.  Painting ceramic tile is completely different from refinishing ceramic tile.  With refinishing, the new finish is actually fused or bonded to the old surface.  Painting ceramic tiles is a cheap solution involvingspray cans of enamel or roll-on epoxies, but the effort is seldom worthwhile.  These epoxies and enamels tend to look somewhat opaque or murky and are textured unlike smooth tile.

Replacing tiles and reinstalling new tiles is a costly, wasteful process that involves tearing out the old time and putting new tile right back in, often taking days and resulting in excess waste in landfills.

Having a professional refinish your ceramic tiles is the best possible solution. Refinishing is less expensive than tile replacement and can save a customer an average of 50%. At Miracle Method, we implement a multistep process to clean and repair your tiles before we even begin refinishing them.  And refinished tilelook much better than painted tile and will last 15 to 20 years or more! Our Natural Accents finishes provide customers with the look of stone. The finish is heat resistant and scratch resistant. Refinishing also gives the added benefit of completely sealing the grout, making it much easier to clean and dramatically reduces staining and growth of mildew!

Miracle Method provides free estimates for ceramic tile refinishing so please give us a call today at 855-212-7337.
