What Can You Do With Ugly Tile Walls?

May 8, 2014 By miraclemethod

Your bathroom is a place where you rejuvenate, relax and refresh. It’s a room you should love. So, what do you do if you don’t love your ugly tile walls? What do you do with tile with outdated colors, grout lines that are cracked, stained, or moldy? White Tile Before After

You can tear out the existing tile and replace it with something else, but that’s messy, time-consuming and expensive.

At Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, we have a quick, clean, and affordable option for you. Don’t retile your walls. Instead, have the existing tile refinished.

With the Miracle Method process, we will transform your bath by creating a sparkling, like-new look and feel:

First, we use a two-step cleaning process to remove any dirt, oil, and other residue from the tile walls.
We repair any cracked or damage tile.
Then, we “float” additional grout over the existing grout, if necessary, to fill any voids and create a smoother appearance.
Once the grout is dry, we clean the tiles again and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure that the new finish will adhere to the old.
Finally, we apply our hi-tech acrylic coatings to produce a smooth, durable, even finish.

Miracle Method offers an extensive collection of colors and textures to choose from, including our Natural Accents™ stone finishes, so you can perfectly match your bathroom décor. Refinishing tile walls also permanently seals the grout, eliminating the need to clean or regularly seal it.

Why bother with messy and expensive removal and replacement of ugly tile and grout when Miracle Method can refinish them quickly, affordably, and beautifully?

To learn more about our process, please visit our website at www.miraclemethod.com or give us a call at 855-212-7337 for more information. Your Miracle Method professional can offer the best pricing if you have both the bathtub and tile walls refinished at the same time. We can even finish the bathtub and walls in contrasting colors.

How Eco-Friendly Is Your Remodel?

May 6, 2014 By miraclemethod

Did you know that a single home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot?* It’s true. Traditional house renovations are a major contributor to overflowing landfills across the country.

At Miracle Method, we can offer you a green remodeling alternative. Don’t replace—refinish!

miracle-method-countertop-refinishing We’ve been passionate about remodeling without demolition since the company was founded 35 years ago. Refinishing the surfaces of existing tubs, tile surrounds, bathroom vanities or kitchen countertops keeps those fixtures out of a landfill. It also reduces pollution generated by delivery, manufacture, and transportation of new fixtures.

Think about this: If you take all the tubs, tile, countertops and sinks we “recycle” in a single year by refinishing instead of throwing them away, we effectively keep more than 2,145,000 cubic feet of waste out of landfills. That’s the equivalent of more than 186 loaded pickup trucks each day.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is the nation’s largest surface refinishing network, with 135 franchises to provide beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling alternatives. Our process can save 75% over the cost of replacing, and it adds up to 15 years of life to most surfaces. Call today to get started: 855-212-7337.

Winter Break is the Perfect Time to Repair Those Leaky Shower Tiles in College Dorms

October 8, 2013 By miraclemethod

College dorms tend to take a real beating. After all, you have new students moving in every year. The bathrooms in particular suffer enormous wear and tear. After a certain period of time, you’re going to want to improve the bathrooms in your dorms. An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them. However, instead of remodeling your dorms’ bathrooms, you should use Miracle Method instead.

Remodeling the bathrooms is an option, but it’s an expensive one, especially when you take into account the number of bathrooms that need to be updated in your dorms. Not to mention that a remodeling project on that scale is going to take quite a bit of time. This is why you should simply consider tile repair and refinishing using Miracle Method instead. Refinishing your bathrooms won’t take long at all – you could get it done during a short student break. Not to mention that it will cost you just a fraction of the price of a remodel. You should also consider the fact that refinishing the bathrooms is more environmentally friendly since you’re continuing to get more use out of your bathroom fixtures, up to 15 more years in some cases, whereas with a remodeling project you’re sending your old fixtures to the landfill.

Find out how you can refinish your dorms’ bathrooms during an upcoming break by contacting us today at Miracle Method.

Get the Beautiful Look of Stone With Natural Accents

September 24, 2013 By miraclemethod

A bathroom or kitchen with a natural stone look finish speaks volumes in terms of great interior design. You can get that look without spending a bundle either. If you are interested in remodeling your bathroom, you should consider ceramic tile refinishing as an affordable alternative.

Before

Ceramic tile refinishing is especially beautiful with the Natural Accents line from Miracle Method. There are many different colors and textures to choose from. You can even apply it directly to laminate, worn tiles, marble, or even fiberglass. The cost for the stone look finish using Natural Accents is significantly less than using real granite and is a much better quality than a Corian style counter top. The application process is fairly simple and only takes between 48 – 72 hours for the bond to become permanent. One of the great things about Natural Accents is that the finish can be applied to bathtub tiles, tile floors, as well as counter tops. After the stone look finish is applied, you end up with a durable surface that can withstand heat and is even scratch resistant. If it does get damaged for any reason, it is also easy to repair.

By taking the Natural Accents route, you can create a fantastic contrast in materials and colors that looks like it cost a fortune, but in reality, only cost a fraction of what others would expect. You can have the kitchen, floors, and bathroom of your dreams thanks to Natural Accents from Miracle Method.

Students Head Back to School and to Refinished Showers and Vanities

September 10, 2013 By miraclemethod

Residents of White Hall on the University of Wyoming campus found beautifully refinished tile showers and in-room vanities when they arrived for fall semester. As part of the residence hall’s major renovation, the ugly tile and leaking shower pans were sealed and refinished in a fresh, new color while the laminate vanities were repaired and given a stone-look Natural Accents^® finish by Miracle Method.

Demolition and replacement of tile in 132 showers and replacement of 297 vanity surfaces would have exceeded the school’s budget and taken longer than the allotted summer break schedule. By using Miracle Method’s eco-friendly refinishing process, the tile and laminate surfaces were saved from the landfill and the project was completed within budget and in time for returning students.

Whether it’s a college residence hall, hotel or apartment complex, Miracle Method has a cost saving alternative to messy and expensive demolition and replacement renovation. Call 855-212-7337 or visit www.MiracleMethod.com/commercial to learn more about Miracle Method’s commercial services.
