If you’re trying to sell your home, your realtor will likely recommended that you update these two rooms before putting it on the market. But replacing your old tub and countertops can be time-consuming and expensive.

With Miracle Method, you spend less time and money on updates to get the most money for your home. Refinishing your worn, damaged, hard-to-clean fixtures or surfaces can make them look brand new—quickly and affordably.

Miracle Method can have your existing fixtures completely refinished, looking brand-new, and ready to show in just 2-3 days.

Save money. The price of a new bathtub or countertops is only your first expense—think labor and material costs for unanticipated plumbing, drywall, flooring, and painting repairs—as well as hidden delivery costs. Miracle Method can save up to 75% over the cost of replacing your old fixtures—so you don’t spend as much money to make money.

HGTV’s Lisa LaPorta from Designed to Sell agrees that, “tub refinishing is a great improvement to make, and it saves you a lot of money in labor because you don’t have to pay someone to rip out your old bathtub.”

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.

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.
