Ceramic Tile Refinishing is Better Than Repainting or Replacing Tile

Refinishing ceramic tile is less expensive, more green, and adds more vitality to your existing tile!

Refinishing ceramic tile is less expensive than replacement, more green, and adds more vitality to your existing tile!

Miracle Method refinishes ceramic tile in much the same way that we refinish ceramic bathtubs and kitchen countertops.  Painting ceramic tile is completely different from refinishing ceramic tile.  With refinishing, the new finish is actually fused or bonded to the old surface.  Painting ceramic tiles is a cheap solution involvingspray cans of enamel or roll-on epoxies, but the effort is seldom worthwhile.  These epoxies and enamels tend to look somewhat opaque or murky and are textured unlike smooth tile.

Replacing tiles and reinstalling new tiles is a costly, wasteful process that involves tearing out the old time and putting new tile right back in, often taking days and resulting in excess waste in landfills.

Having a professional refinish your ceramic tiles is the best possible solution. Refinishing is less expensive than tile replacement and can save a customer an average of 50%. At Miracle Method, we implement a multistep process to clean and repair your tiles before we even begin refinishing them.  And refinished tilelook much better than painted tile and will last 15 to 20 years or more! Our Natural Accents finishes provide customers with the look of stone. The finish is heat resistant and scratch resistant. Refinishing also gives the added benefit of completely sealing the grout, making it much easier to clean and dramatically reduces staining and growth of mildew!

Miracle Method provides free estimates for ceramic tile refinishing so please give us a call today at 855-212-7337.

Why Bathtub Refinishing is Best Left to the Professionals

By


Bathtub refinishing requires use of industrial strength chemical and solvents.

Refinishing bathtubs are, in much the same way as we discuss refinishing countertops in a previous post, jobs best left to professionals.

With that in mind, DIY refinishing for a bathtub is almost always a poor choice.  Outside the soul merit that it might be cheaper than a professionally done refinishing, there are many detriments.  In order to refinish a bathtub, you must first fully clean and remove any build-up of mineral deposits, soap scum, body oils, etc., and utilize powerful industrial-strength chemicals that require, at the very least, rubber gloves, goggles, and a breathing respirator,  to ready the tub before any refinishing.

Only after the tub is cleaned and any damage repaired, can you begin refinishing by bonding and priming the entirety of the tub and then applying the topcoat.  If any one of these steps is lax or missing, the refinishing job might as well be scrapped.  Without a proven bonding agent to fuse the new finish onto the old surface, you are really just doing a temporary “paint” job.  Good refinishing requires an effective bonding agent and hi tech acrylic resins to provide the best results.

If you’re thinking of taking on a do it yourself project, make the right choice and find a Miracle Method location near you. You can also call our toll free number, 855-212-7337, to reach the nearest Miracle Method professional.
