Miracle Method provides on-going training for franchisees and technicians

By

To provide the best kitchen and bath surface refinishing for our residential and commercial customers, Miracle Method conducts exclusive continuing education workshops for franchisees and their technicians.  This continuing education is a big part of why Miracle Method is the nation’s Number 1 surface refinishing company.

Hands-on training is always a part of Miracle Method training sessions.

Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, said “These workshops not only add to the technical ability of our franchisees and their technicians, but also help maintain the gap between ourselves and our competitors. No one else in the surface refinishing industry offers continuing education programs.”

We present three annual workshops, each of which covers the latest techniques and developments in the surface refinishing of bathtubs, tile, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, and laminate bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Additionally, we’re also introducing an exclusive application system for our Natural Accents® stone-look finish, which  makes the refinished surface look even more like natural stone. The first two workshops were held in Cleveland, OH and Sacramento, CA in September and the final 2012 workshop was held October 5-7 in Corpus Christi, TX.

“The workshops were a tremendous success,” according to Pistor.  “The response from our franchisees to our new products and techniques was outstanding and our customers will be able to take advantage of new refinishing options.”  When refinishing is completed by a trained Miracle Method technician, customers can rest assured that they have invested in a quality service.

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.

Before: A chip on a tub in need of repair.

After: Evidence of the chip is long gone!

Miracle Method’s repair services include:

  • Porcelain bathtub repair
  • Porcelain chip repair
  • Porcelain sink repair
  • Tile grout repair
  • Cultured marble repair, including elimination of thermal cracks
  • Fiberglass bathtub repair
  • Fiberglass shower crack repair
  • Acrylic bathtub repair
  • Hot tub repair
  • Jacuzzi hot tub repair

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.
