Colleges and Universities are turning to Miracle Method

By

A growing number of college and university facility managers are turning Miracle Method to update community bathrooms and residence hall showers.  Our refinishing process is saving these institutions thousands of dollars in replacement costs and stretching capital replacement budgets.    They are learning about Miracle Method at college facility manager conferences, from references and articles in facility manager trade magazines.

Exhibiting at conferences has allowed us to not only show college facility managers what we do, but also demonstrate the effectiveness of the Miracle Method process. Don Dominick, Miracle Method’s VP of Business Development, stated in a press release the most common response from facility managers is “’I didn’t know you could do that.’ The second response we hear is ‘when can you come to our campus.’” He also explained that the Miracle Method process is a more affordable and durable alternative to removal and replacement of leaky shower pans, dated tile and damaged countertops, especially since it is less time consuming. “Facility managers work in tight windows, often on holidays and summer breaks. The job starts the day students leave and must be completed before they return.”

Before: Eighteen residence hall bathrooms at a University of North Carolina residence hall in desperate need of a tile update.

After: Miracle Method refinished the floor, wall, and shower tile, including an accent stripe.

College facility managers looking to learn more about Miracle Method’s solutions for residence halls can find it by visiting www.miraclemethod.com/collegehousing  or by connecting with a local franchise by calling 855-212-7337.

The caulk around my tub is black and mildewed and the tub surface impossible to clean!

When you first moved into your new home  you were committed to cleaning the bathroom to a sparkling shine every Saturday morning… after all, you wanted to preserve the “newness”  as long as possible. But with the addition of kids, pets, and other activities, your cleaning schedule went downhill. Now, the caulking around the top of your tub is black and mildewed, and the tub surface after all that scrubbing, is impossible to clean.

The good news is that Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is here to help! Our technicians can refinish the tub surface and  permanently seal the caulk and make it easy to maintain and keep clean for years to come. How is this possible? We use our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure adhesion with the new coating, and then apply new mildew resistant caulk.  Now your bathtub looks like it did when you moved in.

Before: The caulking, tile, and tub are all in need of a makeover.

After: No more yucky black lines or mildew. Just a bright, glossy tub and tile that looks and feels like new!

Miracle Method Customer Says Tub and Tile Floors “Looks Pretty Darn Good”

By

We always enjoy hearing back from our very satisfied Miracle Method customers! Receiving their feedback gives us confidence in knowing that they are very pleased with the service they have received and gives us great pride in the work that we do.

Recently, we received some great feedback from a customer in California named Robin… in fact, she devoted an entire post on her blog, Two Chums, to share about her experience in hiring Miracle Method to refinish her porcelain tub and tile floor. In Robin’s case, it appeared that a drain cleaner used to clear a previously clogged drain had somehow worn away the finish on the tub, causing discoloration. Although she had tried using a variety of cleaners, the stain stayed put. Removal and replacement wasn’t in the budget, so she called on Frank Clark at our Glendale/Burbank franchise to see what he could do. Below is some of what our customer had to say about the experience.

“He came back with a price of $545.  While what they quoted was not cheap, it was much less than the cost of replacing the tub. So we decided to have them fix the tub and resurface the tile on the floor in another bathroom while they were here.  I happen to like white bathrooms because to me they always look clean so that is the color I went with but they would have done any color I wanted if having a colored tile was my choice.”

“I am not one for cheap or quick fixes as a rule.  I like things to be done well and right, but in this case the Miracle Method turned out to be quick and certainly much more affordable than the alternative and I have to tell you this looks pretty darn good.  I took a bath in my “new” tub last night and there was a celebration of joy ….I love it!”

Her tile floors were also refinished in a sparkling, glossy white.
