The bathtub coating seems to have become detached?

I rent an apartment and I’ve been here for almost 3 years. During that time there has been no work on the bathtub, and I assume it hasn’t had any maintenance for a while.
I rent an apartment and I’ve been here for almost 3 years. During that time there has been no work on the bathtub, and I assume it hasn’t had any maintenance for a while.
Recently, I noticed a chip in the enamel coating, and it was sort of bubbling up, like it was detaching from the tub itself. The other day when I went to clean the tub, I pulled up the bathmat and a whole section of the coating came with it. I just contacted my landlady to tell her the tub needs to be refinished, but I’m wondering:
Is this a normal thing that happens eventually with bathtubs? Shouldn’t it fall under “regular wear and tear”? We didn’t do anything harsh to the tub. I’ve always kept up on cleaning and whatnot, it looks like the coating just separated from the tub itself.
Thank you!

It was probably refinished when you moved in. This only lasts a couple of years. Remind them it’s not your tub and you didn’t do anything except clean it.
