My husband dropped a wrench and chipped our tub. How can I fix it?

By

Like many men, your husband is a “fix-it-yourself” kind of guy, so when your tub’s faucet started leaking, he grabbed his toolbox and went to work. As he finished up, he dropped his wrench in the tub and the wrench chipped the tub. He suggested heading down to the hardware store to buy a patch kit, but you are worried about water leaking through and want a better solution.

Replacing the tub is not an option, as you simply don’t have the budget for that. You consider a bathtub liner, but those are expensive, too, and often more problematic. You begin to research your options online and that’s when you discover Miracle Method.

Our bathtub refinishing services include repairing chips and cracks that occur during shipping, installation, or accidents like a dropped wrench. We use waterproof, polyester resins to fill the cracks and chips. After sanding and filling them properly, our technicians apply acrylic enamel coatings. Then, the repaired area is meticulously blended into the surrounding surface so well that it is practically invisible! Best of all, our repairs are completed in place and you’ll be able to use your tub again in just a day or two.

DIY kit repairs often leave a lumpy surface and rarely match the color of your tub.  Miracle Method professional technicians are training in color matching, whether it’s Kohler white, American Standard white or even avocado green.  We can make it look like it never happened.

Can I use a bathmat on my refinished tub?

By

Many homeowners have turned to Miracle Method Surface Refinishing to refinish and transform bathtubs that are damaged, hard to clean, or an outdated color, but our services don’t stop there. Often times, homeowners ask us what they can do to keep their tubs from becoming a slick spot with an accident waiting to happen.

The great thing about Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is that our services don’t stop with refinishing bathtubs – we offer a slip resistant surface option for bathtubs and shower pans that’s a much better option than using a bathmat or stick-on appliques. You see, our slip resistant surfaces are applied by chemically bonding and integrating it into the bottom of the bathtub or shower. Unlike a bathmat or applique, our slip resistant surface will not collect mold, mildew, or dirt, so it is easy to clean. Best of all, you are able to choose the color and coarseness of the slip resistant surface that Miracle Method will apply to your bathtub or shower.

This tub was refinished to include a slip resistant surface, which has been tinted to show its location.

Bathing shouldn’t be a threat to your personal safety, and Miracle Method can help by applying a lasting slip resistant surface to your bathtub or shower. Visit our website for more information, or get in touch with a franchise near you by using our online locator or by calling 855-212-7337.

Something stained my tub and I can’t get it clean. What can I do?

By

For a while now, you’ve spent every Saturday morning scrubbing away at the bottom of your bathtub, trying to remove an ugly, dingy stain. You’re not sure where it came from, and you feel as though you’ve tried every cleaner on the planet, but nothing is removing that stubborn stain. Your thoughts turn to replacing your bathtub since it is pretty old and tubs are relatively inexpensive. But then you remember all of the costs associated with replacing a bathtub, and that’s simply not in the budget. You need a cost-effective way to bring your tub back to a like-new look and feel.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing offers just the solution you are looking for. Bathtub refinishing can save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. And unlike the process of removing and replacing a tub, which would require a plumber and  weeks of renovation, our work is complete in 2 days!

Miracle Method uses a proprietary non-acid refinishing process that will restore tubs made of porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, and even cultured marble to a like-new look and feel. Our technicians will clean the tub, repair any cracks or chips, and then apply our MM-4 bonding agent to create a solid bond between the old and new surfaces. Our hi-tech, durable coating will be applied using a fine-finish spray process. You’ll have a beautiful tub in a brand new color, and best of all, your tub’s usable life will be extended by 15 years or more!

Before: The bottom of the tub is dirty and dingy.

After: The tub and the tile were  refinished to a gleaming white and the stains are long gone!

What is the Miracle Method Safety Package?

By

Although much of our work at Miracle Method is focused on helping homeowners get more useable life out of surfaces such as countertops, bathtubs, and tile surfaces, we can also help make their homes safer for family members with limited mobility by making modifications to the bathroom with our Easy Step® Bathroom Safety Package.

Miracle Method’s bathroom safety package was designed to reduce the risk of slipping and falling while entering or exiting the bathtub and includes all of the items needed to create a safe and secure home bathroom environment. In one day, we’ll convert your current bathtub to a walk-through bathtub by cutting out a 24” wide by 9” deep section, with or without a door. We will also install two ADA approved safety grab bars and apply a slip-resistant surface to the bottom of the bathtub.

If desired, we can also install a curved shower rod to provide more elbow room, a hand-held shower nozzle to make personal bathing easier, a tub chair to make bathing more convenient, and can even change the color of your bathtub and tile surround.

If you or one of your family members is currently struggling to enter or exit the bathtub, or if you simply want to address mobility issues you could face in the future, we invite you to visit the Miracle Method websitetoday for more information on our Miracle Method Easy Step® Bathroom Safety Package. You can check out the video below for additional information. To reach the franchise nearest to you, use our online locator or call 855-212-7337.
