    I painted my tub about a year ago as well and have had zero problems with it. I also just painted a friends shower tile surround and she was AMAZED at how it came out. She had brown tile and hated it and she had no idea it could be painted.

    I never knew you could paint a tub until I watched your video on it last year... and then of course that's all YT thought I wanted to watch. I really want to rip our current moulded tub/show thing out and put in a walk in shower and tile it... but we only have on bathroom.... so maybe I just paint the tub.... it's beige... nobody likes beige, so I don't think I'll get comments. :D

    I chose to paint my tub also. I have the exact tub you have (only mine was white...'ish, and didn't want to replace it. I watched several videos on painting tubs, and did a more research than I probably needed to, before deciding I wanted it professionally resurfaced. I don't regret it, as the tub is "brand new" again. It cost me $650. USD to have it done, which was quite a bit cheaper than buying a tub of anywhere near the same quality as mine, and having to get rid of the old tub. I am happy for you, because your painting job worked out for you. I read and/or watched too many horror stories, where folks did not meet with satisfactory results, and decided to let the professional take the responsibility for it all.
    I'm a new sub. I enjoy your content. You have a clear, concise, and entertaining presentation. Cheers!

    Thanks for the follow up video. Appreciate your good advice throughout. We just pulled a blue tub out of our son’s house. Talk about heavy. The entire bathroom needs to be reconfigured or we would have opted for paint. Thanks again.

    I've got one of those blue tubs in my 2nd bathroom and hate it. Just bought the house and now I have an idea how to deal with it. Wish it would work on the same colored toilet too.

    Great vid bro! I'm going to try it. Will one kit be enough to cover/paint the whole tub? Or should I have another at hand just in case I need more?

    • @BearMountainBuilds
      @BearMountainBuilds  Před 20 dny

      If it's a tub similar in size to mine. One kit will be more than enough. I had quite a bit left over when I was done

    Is this different than glazing? Usually I see it done with pours from the top into the center until everything is coated. Kit is like about what you paid for the paint kit.
    We have pretty gnarly scratches at the bottom of the tub, so trying to smooth it out again.

    • @BearMountainBuilds

      Bathworks has a chip/scratch repair kit that I have linked in the description that you can use to fill in deep scratches then you can paint over the whole thing

    I'm wondering if this product works on hard plastic like bathtubs and sinks? I've read a lot of the reviews and none of them state what type of tub they had. I'd like to update my bathrooms without having to tare it all out. Thank you,

    I watched a YT video where a guy epoxied a tub from the company that sells the counter top epoxy DIY but now they sell for tub makeover
    What is your opinion over painting?

    • @BearMountainBuilds
      @BearMountainBuilds  Před 7 měsíci +2

      I've never epoxied a tub before so I can't say a lot about it. All I can say is that I know the Bathworks kit works really well

    @BearMountainBuilds thanks for the information. I have a question...how on earth does a big guy like you even fit in there? Just kidding.
    What grits did you use?
    If everyone rinses after each use...less cleaning required.

    • @BearMountainBuilds

      The sandpaper is included with the kit, but I believe it was 400 grit
