How do I refinish a bathtub?
April 6th, 2008 | by admin |moira77 asked:
I recently moved into a house that was refinished, but they apparently forgot to finish the bathtubs. They are matte, not slick and shiny and they have some stains and rough patches. I think they’re so gross I don’t even want to take a bath in them! I’ve seen people painting bathtubs on tv shows, but Lowe’s said they didn’t have bathtub paint. Do I need to call plumber or someone else to have this done? I’m willing to pay someone else to do it or do it myself, just need to know what’s involvwed or who I should call. Thanks!

Custom-molded acrylic bathtub liners that fit over old tubs.

This is like a skin that fits over your tub but do a little research because I’ve heard good and bad reports on the process.

you can but a kit from a paint store or hire a refinishing company but honestly speaking a tub liner is a longer lasting product if you professionally have it refinished you’ll get 5 years if your lucky
