Bathtub Refinishing

can’t say asked:

I love the tiles and want to keep them. The tub is old and should probably be replaced. Might consider refinishing my tub if it means I can save my tiles from harm.

Solitary asked:

I have two old bathtubs. One has the no-skid finish in the bottom, the other one was refinished. Both develop dark areas in the bottom. For the refinished one, I was told not to use harsh cleaners. The other one, I have tried mild and harsher cleaning agents, but I never seem to get the bathtubs completely clean looking. Any suggestions?

DR asked:

I had my bathtub refinished yesterday. 24 hours later, the smell is still present–smells like nail polish and paint. The contractor did use ventilation, but I was wondering if there is something I can wash the tub with to get rid of the odor. Or does the odor just go away with daily use?

I have a leaking bathtub that needs fixing and I need some help!! I not too much of a plumber. I have located one leak right near the drain, but all the flooring underneath is wet. Which leads me too suspect there are more minor leaks. The floor of the tub is spider cracking in several areas. How do i re-seal the entire floor of the tub and what products are recommended. THANKS!

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!

No matter how much, how long I scrub, I cant get our tub to come clean, It looks NASTY! Ive tried every cleanser known to man…and its still looking gross! I even bought those Mr.Clean Erasers…great for taking off my sons Artwork, on my walls,lol.
I even tried this stuff you can paint on and it kinda does a Faux Re-Sealing…after about 3 mths, its started peeling and got gummie, now we have a unforgiving clog in the tub(its like clue) Thank goodness , hubby is a Plumber…Thanks for those who are able to give some TIPS!
Also, we DONT want to spend all the money it cost to resurface the tub.

Im Allergic to CLOROX/Bleach!

ThinkingAloud asked:

My wife and I bought a house a few years ago with bright shiny tubs. Turns out the remodeler painted the tub with some sort of paint that started chipping. I finally got around to chipping off all the paint, scrubbing it clean, prepping the surface, and using the Home Depot resurfacing kit to put on two layers. The first layer looked fine, but was too thin you could see through it. The second layer bubbled up and looks streaky and terrible. It will not sand out and now I am faced with the decision to remove the tub. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to refinish an old stained cast iron tub? Or do you know of any companies that do it for a reasonable price?
