Is refinishing just a cover up like bathtub liners?

July 11, 2018 By miraclemethod

We are often asked the difference between bathtub liners and surface refinishing. Simply put, liners are covers placed over your existing bathtub while refinishing restores the existing surface to like new.

Bathtub liners are made of sheets of PVC plastic or acrylic, which are molded to the shape of an existing bathtub. The liner is then placed over a tub and glued to the top of that tub to cover it up. When you opt for a liner, you will sacrifice the deep gloss look of a restored porcelain tub for the look and feel of plastic. When you place a liner over your bathtub, you also lose additional space in the tub, making it smaller than the original size. The important thing to know about bathtub liners is they can, and usually will develop leaks over time, which can lead to mold, mildew, and a “squishy” feeling when one steps into the tub.

Need to read more about why NOT to get a liner? Here are some additional facts about bathtub liners to take note of:

  • Bathtub liners usually cost between $1,300 and $1,500. A wall liner system can also increase your project bill to over $3,000.
  • It takes several weeks to go from measurements to the installation of bathtub liner.
  • A licensed plumber is usually needed when a liner is installed because the extra thickness usually requires an extension of the drain and overflow.Bathtub Liner Removal

Bathtub refinishing, on the other hand, is a cost-effective and quick alternative for an old, worn out, or outdated bathtub. Miracle Method uses a proprietary non-acid refinishing process for guaranteed restoration of porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, and cultured marble bathtubs. We’ll clean the tub, repair cracks and chips, and then apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure a solid bond between the old surface and new finish. Lastly, one of our trained professionals will use a fine-finish spray process to apply a hi-tech, durable acrylic coating. The result will be a gorgeous tub that looks like new and for a fraction of the cost of a new tub or liner!

New Miracle Method Franchisees Find Happiness in Business Ownership

June 11, 2018 By miraclemethod

After years working for others, Phil Brookover and Keith Lund were ready to make a change.

After experiencing the rollercoaster that is the electronic manufacturing industry, Phil Brookover was ready to take control of his own life. He then began his journey to find a business of his own and take control of his future. After speaking with his neighbor Keith Lund about the possibility of franchising, they decided that franchising was the perfect next move for the two. After ample research in finding the perfect franchise model, the pair decided Miracle Method was a clear winner.

Brookover explained, “When we looked at Miracle Method, we could see the potential. We were looking at another franchise at the time, but as we talked to Gwyn O’Kane, VP of Franchise Development, and learned more about the brand and how quickly profits were available in comparison to some of the others, it just made a lot more sense. Any concerns I had were answered through the pre-discovery day process. Talking with Gwyn and other franchise owners in North Carolina made it feel like Miracle Method was the perfect fit for us.”

Brookover was particularly thrilled when he learned that Miracle Method didn’t charge franchisees for their unique, proprietary bonding agent that sets the franchise apart. “The final selling point for me was the fact that Miracle Method doesn’t charge you for the bonding agent that is used for the process. Other franchises we were looking at there was a lot of these products you would have to buy from the franchise to get set up. We liked that there was no charge and they weren’t trying to get more out of us.”

Although Brookover and Lund are new franchisees, only completing their training in late April, the partners feel more than prepared to get to work and bring the benefits of Miracle Method to their community. This preparation is no accident, the franchise takes training very seriously. Franchisees and their technicians go through three weeks of training so they are ready and capable of completing any project.

The corporate team is based in Colorado Springs, CO but takes pride in their commitment to being available for franchisee to contact 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“The corporate staff has been really great. After our three-week training, we’ve continued to receive ongoing support. We know they are just a phone call away and we have access to different people within the office who are always willing to help whenever we have questions,” shared Brookover.

Just a few weeks into working with Miracle Method full time, Lund and Brookover already have a handful of jobs under their belt and are starting to make a name for themselves in their community. When asked what Brookover was most excited about his future with the franchise, he shared that he’s excited to be a part of a franchise that enhances people’s lives.

“Being able to satisfy customers. There’s a lot of people out there with outdated or need a fresh look. It’s really exciting that we’ll be able to satisfy their needs for much less.”

Making Old Discolored Tile And Grout New Again

May 30, 2018 By miraclemethod

Dirty tile and grout surfaces in your home? Tired of scrubbing dingy tile and grout but not ready to spend a fortune on a complete kitchen or bathroom overhaul. Here’s a simple and affordable way to making old discolored tile and grout new again!

Over time, dirt, mold, and mildew build up and seep into the pores of the surface, making tile and grout in your kitchen or bathrooms unsanitary and difficult to keep clean. At the same time, tile and grout that is old, dingy or even discolored can make your home look very outdated. Before you start tearing out and replacing dingy and outdated showers, vanities, countertops, and tile, consider an affordable remodeling alternative like surface refinishing.

Making Old Discolored Tile And Grout New Again

Surface refinishing repairs and restores existing kitchen and bathroom fixtures right in place without the mess, hassle and cost of replacement. Not only will surface refinishing return your tile and grout surfaces back to their original clean and beautiful appearance, but it will save you thousands of dollars over the cost of replacement. In fact, most homeowners can save anywhere between 50-75% over the cost of traditional replacement methods.

Solutions like tile regrouting and grout cleaning only offer a temporary fix for homeowners looking to fully restore their tile and grout surfaces. Unlike tile regrouting and grout cleaning, tile and grout refinishing allows you to keep your existing tile while making it look like and feel like new again without replacement. With tile and grout refinishing, you can give your kitchen or bathroom a beautiful, new look in as little as 2-3 days! Loose, hollow, or broken tile, or even missing grout lines can all be repaired prior to the refinishing process. Refinishing your tile and grout will leave you with durable, beautiful, and much easier to clean surfaces in your kitchen or bathrooms.

If you’re interested in saving time and money with tile and grout refinishing, call Miracle Method at 855-212-7337 or find a location near you by clicking here!

Countertop refinishing is a unique, multi-step process that first makes repairs to any damage on the existing surface including scratches, burns, knife marks, or chips.
