Miracle Method Featured on DIY’s Rescue Renovation

By

Have you ever wondered how work gets done on the home improvement shows on the HGTV and DIY networks?  Production studios like High Noon Entertainment contact quality vendors like Miracle Method Surface Refinishing to do the work.  Our reputation for quality work has gained exposure on such shows as Bathtastic, Carter Can, This Old House, the Today Show and now, Rescue Renovation.

Rescue Renovation’s host, Kayleen McCabe, and her team reached out to Miracle Method to restore a 100 year-old clawfoot bathtub in a historic home in Denver, Colorado. The tub would be the focal point of the show’s bathroom renovation. The episode, titled Dunn Bathroom, premiered in December 2011 and will run throughout 2012. While Miracle Method’s primary business is refinishing “normal” bathtubs, tile and kitchen countertops in homes, hotels, hospitals, apartments and colleges, clawfoot tub refinishing is fun to do… and it keeps these beauties out of the landfills!

Appearance on home improvement shows has helped consumers understand the value of quality bathtub refinishing and how they take advantage of the cost savings surface refinishing can provide in their own homes.

Look at these photos to see how we restored this classic clawfoot tub for Rescue Renovation:

Before:  The tub had been sprayed with a “rattle can.”  As a result, the black paint was peeling and was quite an eyesore.

Refinishing process in progress:  The show’s designer chose a high-gloss metallic silver for the exterior and the feet and glossy white for the interior.

After seeing their refinished clawfoot tub, the homeowners were so pleased, in fact, they said they will refer their friends and neighbors to us!

The tile walls in my bathroom are ugly. What can I do to change them?

By

Are the tile walls in your bathroom the wrong color, outdated, damaged, or just ugly? If you’re looking at costly, messy replacement options… don’t! Miracle Method can refinish those tile walls, saving you up to 75 percent over the cost of replacement. Remarkably, the work can be done in just two days! By having your bathroom tile refinished, you’ll avoid the time-consuming and messy process of tearing out tile, rendering your bathroom unusable for days, if not weeks. Refinishing, sometimes called reglazing, will permanently seal your existing grout lines while providing an amazing new finish to your existing tile.

Natural Accents®, Miracle Method’s multi-color stone-look finish, will give your tile walls a high-end makeover suitable for any decor. Available in over 30 colors, Natural Accents finishes are seamless, non-porous, impervious to water, and are both heat and scratch resistant.

Bathroom tile wall refinishing by Miracle Method is very similar to our bathtub refinishing process. We’ll use our two-step cleaning process to remove any soap scum, body oil, and dirt to ensure the surface is clean. Then, we’ll add additional grout, if needed, to fill voids and create a smooth appearance. After the new grout sets up and dries adequately, we clean the tile again and then apply our MM-4 bonding agent to make sure the new finish will adhere. After our high-tech acrylic coatings have been applied, your refinished tile walls and floor will look like new!

Before and After….Entire tile wall refinished, giving bathroom updated, brightened appearance!

I’m tired of scrubbing nasty grout lines. Is there an easier way?

By

Do you have tile floors, walls, countertops, or a tile shower? Then you know just how difficult it can be to keep things looking clean, especially the grout lines. It seems that the grout lines are the most difficult part of it all to keep clean because dirt, dust, and soap scum just settle into the lines and stick there. The cleaning cycle feels as though it will never end, and you have probably wondered on more than one occasion if there’s a solution to your problem.

The answer is tile surface refinishing by Miracle Method. Our process begins with a very thorough, two-step cleaning process to remove dirt, detergents, and body oil from the tiles. After taking care of any necessary grout repairs and allowing the grout to dry, we wipe down the tile and apply Miracle Method’s MM-4 bonding agent, which ensures that the new hi-tech acrylic coating adheres properly.

When the refinishing process is complete, you are left with a beautiful new finish on your tile surfaces and clean, even grout lines. As the refinishing process permanently seals the grout, your surfaces will be easy to clean and maintain for years to come.

Before… dirty, nasty grout lines.

After… tile and grout are sparkling and best of all, easy to clean and maintain.

How long will refinishing last? Is there a guarantee?

By

A few of the questions we are often asked is how long our Miracle Method refinishing will last and if there is a guarantee. When cared for properly, a Miracle Method refinished bathtub or tile wall can easily last 10 to 15 years – some last even longer. Our MM-4 bonding agent creates a chemical bond between the old surface and the new one to ensure your refinished surface’s long life.

Our work is backed by our five year warranty, which is provided by each individual Miracle Method franchise. This five year warranty covers workmanship, as well as peeling or other failure of adhesion of the new coating. It covers bathtubs, wall tile, and fiberglass units. If a problem arises with your new finish, it can almost always be fixed.

Before…yellow tile was dated and ugly.

After….refinished white tub and tile are gleaming and timeless!
