All the Miracle Method of Indy staff that I worked with (Dede, Shawnee, and Thomas) were professional and responsive. The service was fairly priced and they did everything they promised. And I'm thrilled with the results. Would I recommend again? Definitely YES. Read on for details.

Our guest bathroom fiberglass tub/shower had two long cracks in the bottom leaking into the basement ceiling. I was hoping we could avoid a complete demolition and replacement.
Miracle Method owner Dede came out and gave us a written estimate. We scheduled the service with Shawnee in the office, and Thomas arrived today around 8:50 AM to rebuild the bottom of the tub with fiberglass mesh and a variety of potions. He did a lot of prep to the bathroom to ensure nothing was damaged and to limit the dust and odor in the rest of the house.
He just left around 12:45 PM, and the tub looks brand new. After observing, I don't think I could have done this myself. The skills, tools, and materials are beyond my DIY level. If you are good at car body work, then maybe...
I am very pleased. The gel coat needs 24 hours for a solid cure. He said after 24 hours, we can use and clean the tub as normal, with any standard bath/household cleaners (without abrasives).
Some things to know about the fiberglass repair (not criticisms):
1. Window access: Thomas needed access to an open-able window to route the flexible exhaust duct, which was quite large.
2. Smell: Even with the powerful fan and open window, you will notice a chemical odor in other parts of the house. If you have pets or someone sensitive to smells or air quality, plan for that. Suggestion: During the repair, set your HVAC controls to "Auto mode" or "Off" to reduce circulation throughout the house.
3. Noise: The gear is loud (exhaust fan, vacuum, sander, and spray painter). So if you have pets, infants, someone sensitive to sound or on a daytime sleep schedule, they will hear the noise, so plan for that.
4. Prep: You should remove as much stuff from the bathroom as you can, to minimize getting dust on stuff.
