My tile grout lines are stained and moldy. What do I do?

By

Anyone with tile walls or floors in their bathroom knows just how difficult it can be to keep the grout lines clean. Grout lines are a great place for moisture to collect, which can make way for mold to grow, adding to the difficulty of keeping the appearance of the space clean. It seems that no amount of scrubbing will return your grout lines to a sparkling, like-new look and you’re wondering what you can do.

Instead of removing and replacing your tile, consider tile surface refinishing from Miracle Method. Tile and grout repair are a part of the tile refinishing process. We will thoroughly clean the tile surfaces, and if grout repair is needed, we will float the grout with a special quick set mix to fill any voids or cracks. Once that’s dry, we will wipe down the tile and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure the new coating adheres properly. The end result will give you clean and even grout lines that are permanently sealed, which will make keeping your tile floors and walls easier than before. We’ll then apply the color of your choice….even one of our Natural Accents™ stone-look finishes which will give your tile a designer look.

Surface refinishing is a proven and cost effective alternative to the removal and replacement of kitchen counters, bathroom vanities, bathtubs, and tile. But if you think all surface refinishing is the same, think again. There are several factors that make Miracle Method’s surface refinishing stand out against the competition, and today we’re going to tell you about why our refinished surfaces stand is superior to the competition.

First, only Miracle Method has MM-4, a proprietary bonding agent that is acid-free. It bonds the old and new surfaces together on a molecular level to ensure quality and durability. Others may say they use similar materials, but they’re not as good nor have they been proven for over 30 years!

Secondly, our refinished surfaces not only look like new, they feel like new, too. We take extra care to detail the new surface – a step above what most refinishers are willing to do.

We also offer superior service and craftsmanship.

We’ll explain the process thoroughly, complete the job on time, and won’t have any hidden charges or surprises. Best of all our work is guaranteed for five years against failure of adhesion of the new surface.

Soap suds that didn’t wash down the drain, body oils, or even just an old shower that has seen better days can create a slick spot in the bathroom where an accidental fall could easily occur. When you notice your bathtub or shower pan has become even the slightest bit slippery, it is extremely important to take action in order to prevent slips, falls, and injuries.

Appliqués and bathmats are temporary solutions can peel away, damage the finish of the bathtub or shower pan, as well as harbor unsightly and unsanitary mold and mildew. You need a safer, healthier, more permanent answer to the problem.

In about an hour, our technicians will apply a chemically bonded slip resistant surface that won’t peel away. We offer a variety of colors and can apply it in the coarseness of your choosing. Once applied, your Miracle Method slip resistant surface will help reduce the risk of falls.

I want to replace my sinks, and the vanity is dated. What are my options?

By

Perhaps you’ve been living in your home for several years now and are ready to spruce it up a bit. You take a look around and notice how ugly and outdated your bathroom sinks and vanities are. On the other hand, the tile is in great condition and now you’re trying to decide what to do.

One option would be to replace your sinks, but finding sinks that fit your vanity exactly like your old sinks did could be very challenging. Replacement also puts your space out of use for a while, and sometimes, construction doesn’t begin or end on schedule, which can lead to a very expensive bill when the job is complete.

Another option is to have Miracle Method refinish your sinks and vanities. The refinishing process also includes repairing damage, and once completed, you’ll get around 15 extra years of useful life out of your sinks and tile. We refinish items in place so you will be able to use your refinished vanity in just a few days, as opposed to waiting for weeks for a construction project to end. You’ll love your vanity refinished in one of Miracle Method’s Natural Accents™ stone look finishes.

Best of all, Miracle Method’s refinishing process will save you a lot of money. In fact, we typically save customers up to 75% over the cost of removal and replacement.

If you’re curious to know more about refinishing your sinks, visit the Miracle Method website for more information, or contact your nearest Miracle Method franchise by calling 855-212-7337 or by using our online locator.
