Slip-Resistant Showers and Tubs Great for Retirement Communities and Nursing Homes

August 30, 2018 By miraclemethod

Retirement communities and nursing homes have a higher chance of a resident slipping and falling while taking a shower or bath, for obvious reasons. Installing a slip-resistant shower surface can help reduce these falls, which is one reason Miracle Method offers this bathing safety advancement for these communities in particular but also all customers. We believe it is vital that people of all ages or health can enjoy the comfort of using their bathing without the risk of injuring themselves.

Here are the benefits of having your bathtub or shower pan refinished with the slip-resistant surface offered by Miracle Method:

It is chemically bonded to the shower or bathtub and this reduces the chances of them cracking/peeling
It is economical and requires less time to install (approximately 1 day) due to their simplistic nature
It won’t collect mold and mildew like bathmats, it is easy to clean and much more sanitary
It won’t collect dirt, mildew, etch completely into the tub, or crack and become unsightly like appliqués

Aged retiring communities and home care nursing facilities can benefit from Miracle Method’s installation of slip resistant surfaces because they also include the installation of handheld shower nozzles, grab bars, and curved shower rods so as to increase the safety of the users. To learn more about Miracle Method’s bathing options, visit your nearest Miracle Method showroom or our website.

Conveniently, Miracle Method can install a bonded, slip-resistant surface that will not peel in just one hour, is sanitary and easy to clean, and that even color matches the surface to your tub or shower pan. Learn more about Miracle Method’s Bathroom Safety Package today!

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

October 8, 2013 By miraclemethod

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 An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them.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.

Find out how you can refinish your dorms’ bathrooms during an upcoming break by contacting us today at Miracle Method.

How does tile shower and shower pan refinishing work?

August 29, 2011 By miraclemethod

Before and after tile shower refinishing from Miracle Method.

Shower pans can become stained for many reasons, including years and years of mineral build-up. If your shower pan is stained and it seems like you’ve tried everything you can to get it clean without success, don’t replace it, consider hiring Miracle Method to refinish it!

Refinishing a tile shower and shower pan is similar to refinishing a bathtub in that it includes multiple steps. The first step involves a cleaning process to remove contaminants such as soap scum, body oil and dirt. The next step is to float the grout. This entails using a squeegee to evenly spread a small amount of grout over the surface to fill in gaps and even out grout lines. Then the tile is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied and several coats of hi-tech acrylic are used to finalize the refinishing.

You can go from an old, stained shower pan and outdated tile to a shower that not only looks like new, but is much easier to clean! Another unique benefit of refinishing tile showers and tile shower pans is that once refinished, the tile grout lines are also refinished and permanently sealed so no more scrubbing stained and moldy grout lines!
