In addition to countertop and cupboards... bathtub and tile refinishing can also extend the life of your existing fixtures! Miracle Method of Brampton has a solution to help update your kitchen or bathroom without the high cost of renovation! "Why renovate when you can refinish, in just a few days?", says Bruce Edgar, owner. Not only is refinishing fast, but you'll save up to 50-75% over the cost of replacement. Since surface refinishing doesn't require weeks of messy construction, in just 2-3 days, your kitchen and bathrooms will be beautiful again. "Our customers can save thousands of dollars and the results are beautiful! We can create an updated new look over your existing surfaces using our Natural Accent® finishes", continues Bruce. Natural Accents® are available in a wide array of colours and can be applied on laminate, tile, fibreglass, acrylic, Corian® and cultured marble surfaces. Miracle Method can give you a high-end look without the high-end cost. "Kitchen counter tops are the newWOW factor forhomeowners," continuesBruce. "We also spray and refinish cupboard doors and bases and the transformation is simply amazing! We use an HVLP spray system, NOT a paintbrush, and the topcoat lacquer is the same that kitchen cabinet manufacturers use." Compare refinishing to the cost of replacing or re- facing and you'll see that you can save money.
