BEFORE & AFTER: How to Paint a Bathtub and Clean It. Does It Last?? - Thrift Diving

- čas přidán 5. 06. 2024
- Wondering how to paint a bathtub because it's a horrible 1970's color or your bathtub needs to be freshened up? Watch how I refinish a powder blue bathtub for a neighbor, and show you how I clean my own painted fiberglass shower. I painted my shower about 2.5 years ago and it's held up nicely, except for some dirt stains in the bottom (with a few minor chips). Overall, the results have lasted!
I'm kicking off Bathroom Week! Stay tuned for more bathroom projects this week! :)

Wow amazing job, i search in all sanitry shops in my country for pink bathtub , wb and wc and i didnt find , only white is there , if you can come to my house and paint it to me from white to pink im ready to give you 300$ for each piece
So this might be surprising for my age of 13 ,but after binge watching all of your videos on your channel, for a few months now, I was inspired to buy a new desk to replace my undesirable one. My father and I completely refinished it. He painted it and I did all the sanding,filling holes, measuring for knobs, and the cutting of contract paper. So thank you for inspiring to do that! IT LOOKS GORGEOUS!
Oh wow, that is amazing! I would love to see it! Email me pictures at serena@thriftdiving.com! ♥️♥️♥️
Superriegirl S. I’m 13 too and doing the same!
Nope, dads a carpenter, made furniture at you age...
Superriegirl S. What is a 13 year old doing here lol
I didn’t know 13 year-old grandmas existed
Acrylic enamel with a gloss hardner. Old school paint loved it!!!!
You really impress me with your "do it all" attitude. You are such a hard worker. The do over looks great!
Aww, thanks, Carol!!
Just bought and moved into my grandma's old house (built 1951!). Everything in the bathroom (and the rest of the house) hasn't been touched since then! As someone very new to home renovation and updating, your videos are an absolute GODSEND. I'm currently working on the bathroom right now! On my list is painting, redoing the floor, adding a vanity, replacing a toilet, refinishing the tub and tile surround, replacing lighting. Thank you so much for your videos, and this quite literally could not have come at a better time! Feel better with that bronchitis; just got over mine two weeks ago and it was hell!
Wow! Congratulations!How exciting! I'm so jelly. You can SO do this. I've learned so much here. She's always so supportive. Given me the courage to tackle jobs I'd never dreamed in a million years I could ever do myself. It's so very empowering as well. Another amazing channel you'll definitely need to check out is seejanedrill She has very easy to follow videos too. Literally hundreds of how-to vids. Just about anything and everything you'll need to know or learn during your long labor of love. Even vids about the names of tools and how to use them. I use to be so terrified of power tools and any kind of electrical. Now? pffft.. 😁 Good luck! You got this!👍👊
@@Pepsi_Please ⁸
Where can I buy this products. I JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE and it has avocado color.
Bubble gum pink tub here! With rust and water stains that won’t come out. Thank you for this video!
Christal Intentions omgg i want that
Pink tub not the rust lol
Did you end up painting it?
Pink tubs can be sold for a pretty penny. They are in trend right now
My pink tub lost all the shine, and is scratched. How it goes scratched is beyond me
Just found this. Contractor told me it would be about 15 grand to rehab my bath. Me buying everything, renting a dumpster etc. That number woke me up! I’m not spending that much... I’m about to learn some skills.
me too $12K for a 36" square shower replacement, then the scammers called me back twice to offer a "special discount" when I refused ... I said forgedabboutdit!!!! LOL
15 grand?! That will buy you a new complete Bathroom plus a Spa!
What they aren't telling you is what type of bath shower they want. They clearly aren't asking for a basic upgrade. If you want something fancy you have to pay, or get it done cheaply and fall apart.
There are quite a few other videos out there but yours seemed realistic as to the amount of prep that’s needed and caring for the tub post-work. It’s Wednesday and I can’t wait for the weekend to start renovating my guest bathroom. Up first, refurbishing my tub!
Thank you so much. After watching your video I repainted my tub, tile, and had the sink replaced. The bathroom looks brand new!
I didn't know you could do this! YOU'RE BRILLIANT!!
Yes, you can! I have really liked the results I have had with it. Eventually, I'll rip out my shower stall and tile and do a glass shower door. But that's the keyword: eventually. LOL
They've had kits to do this for decades
This Woman is amazing! Can’t stop watching your videos. You’re such a role model.
Yayyy! I love Bathroom Week. Working on my Brother's house. It has been vacant since he died in 2010. There are 2 bathrooms. One tub, in the Master BA, requires refinishing. The other is okay. Your video was right on time! I appreciate all you do!😍
You are so refreshing! It's hard to watch other videos where people aren't nearly as thorough and every other word is "like or um". Great job, so watchable, and you explain the steps so well!
You've got to enjoy this type of work. Yes I said work because I would find no joy in doing all of this. My hat is off to you for tackling these projects and excelling at them.
Feel better soon! Excited to see your bathroom reno videos.
Great video! I watched a bunch of videos on how to refinish a tub and yours is the best by far.
I am so excited for this week's videos!!!
I love love love love the blue tub blue but love it white! I’ve always wanted to redo a bathroom. Looks so fun
You made it all look so easy. Great job! Since that this video was 3 years ago, I'm curious about the condition of the paint now.
Omg! The transformation of the
bathtub and the shower is amazing! Keep up your good work! 👌👍😀😉
Thanks so much for sharing this technique. It looks really good. Excited to see the videos for the remainder of the week. Big xoxo’s 💞.
This is very informative. Especially for people who have never painted. I paint a lot and do a lot of research so I knew the majority of this. But if someone has never painted this video would be awesome!!
This is so inspiring!!!! We are slllllooooowwwwllllyyyy fixing up our house and we are clueless so I am heavily inspired by you! We are learning so much and this helps to overcome the fears of DIY as well! Thank you so much!
Amazing tutorial and a great 'can-do' attitude! The only thing I could see myself doing differently is using knee pads. I don't know how your knees could handle being on that tile floor that long without knee pads! Great job, keep it up.
You are my (S)hero❣ In my head, we're friends & we help each other w/our projects!😂
Wow, awesome job! I’m looking to repaint our bath tub, this video helps!
Hope you feel better soon. Excited to see this series. Hope all is well and Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks, Mike! The nasty cough has started now and will likely continue throughout the night. Better get some tea and ginger!
That handheld shower head works wonders when it comes to cleaning the tub and shower walls.
Nisey i can’t live without my hand held shower head
and the vagine
I just moved into a rental that i can do "anything" to. I am so excited to do this! I told my landlord that I was going to fix up the bathroom since it's the ONLY thing that didn't get renovated lol
I use dawn dish soap to clean my tub. I learned that tip when I had my cleaning business.
That is a great tip!
Same here! I use Dawn for everything, including my cats!
You should mix that Dawn soap with white vinegar. Put them both in 50/50, but don’t shake. Turn gently upside down and right side up several times until thoroughly mixed. This solution works amazingly. Evenly brush it on, wait about 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Your tub will look more beautiful than ever!
Yes! 🎆 Dawn or any CHEAP shampoo(V0 5, White Rain, etc.,) cleans like a dream👍🏽.
@@mr.tomraypaz6085 Keep a DishEand filled w/same mixture inside shower for glass doors & fixtures. People ask me how I keep Glass shower doors so clear😊👍🏽
Great job. I was scared to refinish my pink tub but you made it look so easy. I think I'm going to try it at the end of summer when the kids go back to school.
Did you repaint your pink tub?
You made this look so easy. I'm going to try it. Thank you!!
You forgot a very important tip. Make sure your tub is full of water BEFORE you caulk. The first time you try to take a bath the caulking will pull away from the sides.
I wondered why the caulk completely came apart after the landlord replaced my tub. Thanks!
It depends on the type of the tub. Definitely should be done for plastic but not for cust iron, which won't change the shape as it gets filled with a mass
Can you go more into depth about that? How does that work? Caulk will pull away from what sides? :o
@@user-xu9ot9zk9q It has to do with pressure. When a tub is full it pulls at the seams, if you have the tub full while caulking it adjusts for this and the caulk should stay in place while the tub is in use.
ChaleeRenee ohhh okay, thank you for explaining!
The tub looks amazing!!!
Yay !!!!! This is going to be the best week ever 🎉
I’m glad I came across this! My tub needs to be redone! I’ll redo it myself !!!!
Warm cleaning vinger and dawn soap works so well. This video was fabulous! Great job!
love the idea of warm ... surely must help break down emulsions. thanx
@@ooohlaa13 spray it on and leave it there for 30 minutes or so. Any dirt will wipe away upon cleaning.
My point exactly when I tell my girls you don't need a man for everything!! you go girl😂♥️♥️🥰🥰
or really ANYTHING!!! LOL
After finishing the laundry room mini makeover I’m ready for another project. I already have the paint and a light fixture for my bathroom. The biggest mystery may be the possible hidden wall damage behind the bathroom mirror.
Thanks for the valuable information I will be doing this on my old soaker tub
Looks awesome! My bath (tub) is from the 1950s and is looking rather old and worn out now! The elderly guy who lived here before us kept the old bathroom!
Yesss the queen of thrifty home improvement! This was so informative and interesting to watch. Oddly satisfying to watch a bath tub being painted.... I didn't even know you could do that!😅😁😍 Great job and love ya!
Yep, you can totally refinish a bathtub! When we moved into our old house we lived with the colorful showers and tubs for a while. It was like a breath of fresh air when we finally covered the turquoise! Thanks for watching!!
Wow!! I am so glad I found this video 👏🏽. So informative can’t wait to try this.
I'm kinda liking that beautiful blue once it was scrubbed so clean lol
That is exactly what I said. The tub looked so nice when it was super cleaned I would have left it haha
Eva CKW i miss your faith in my healing classes in action. Thank you. Youre the best.
Thank you very much for your times to making all videos
You my girl are one marvelous woman! So very talented .👍🏼🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Great tutorial, a lot of really informative tips. Thank you
Definitely going to try this in my bathroom. I have the whole blue set… tub, toilet and sink
What a great job you did. Our bathtub needs a makeover too
You are my hero. Love your channel and you are amazing!
You are a hard worker. You did a beautiful job 😊
Love your series and your voice!😍😍😍
Another great video! That tub looks amazing! I can't wait to see the video with the tub being ripped out! About 4 years ago when we were working on my father's house in Silver Spring, I looked into hiring a company to refinish it for us. I can't remember the price they wanted but it was around $1,500 or so. Your's looks just as good!
Feel better soon! This is exactly the nudge I needed. Your timing is spooky. Now, I have asthma, so I really dont think I personally can do this, but I wonder if I can find someone to do it for me!
I love stuff like this! I’m a girl and pretty young but I think it’s fun! I helped my dad build my firepit
Very informative and detailed instructions. Thank you.
I just found out that a clip of this vide ok is on Lowe's website for this product! Good job!
Awesome. Gurl power!! Thank u! Ps: Ur voice was adorable!
You do AMAZING work!! I really need you to come to my house and redo my bathtub and the surrounding shower... it's literally from 1972 and disgusting! Great video!
This is an excellent tutorial. I'm so impressed.
Thanks, Eric! This stuff really works. If you watch my other video, you'll see my shower that I epoxyed, the full video. It's been like 4.5 years I think, and it's still holding up! I'll do a follow-up video on it!
This is so great! Thanks for posting it!
Great job! Will definitely try this!
You are good, you motivate me to work on my mom's home. Your voice , take care of it. I remember you have been doing mold projects too be careful. I gotta do some too the attic. Your very pretty to be doing projects, you are bold.😊💪
The tub came out great!
I just discovered you a month ago, and I have been making my way through your videos. I am trying to prepare my home for sale, and this video here is gonna save me a ton! From an educator, your teaching skills are bomb! Thank you! Do you have a video on tiling your bathroom?
Mine is canary yellow, the other one is robins egg blue, I have been thinking about painting. Thanks for the video!!!
You were totally right in using the single edge blade to scrape soap scum. Great job prepping the surface. I would recommend using an acid etch for better adhesion. Would love to try the Bath Works product with my HVLP spray gun. I liked how you used a liquid bonding agent. Great job with the DIY
Yo girl your voice sounds amazing 😊 Don't think that your voice sounds bad because it sounds very beautiful! Hope you feel better! Love ya 😍😊😁💘
Good job,,,,I used appliance epoxy paint and did the same thing....my tub was pink and it turned out great.
Absolutely terrific video!
Fantastic Job.
I am about to start my little project.
Nice work. Love it!
I have all the supplies at home but was afraid of doing it myself. I actually may try doing it myself now!
I had my tub refinished last month. It look amazing. Now have to get the rest of the bathroom down.
That's great! Did you do it yourself or hired a company to do it? If you don't mind my asking, what did it cost for professionals, if that's the route you went?
@@ThriftDiving It would cost me around $400 to do the inside of my large clawfoot tub by a professional up here in Canada. Closer to $500 since I'm not in the city. I've gotten a couple of quotes on this. Mine had a diy kit done to it before we bought and I didn't notice until we moved in and went to take a bath. Too much flaking to take a bath though.
I'm so excited for this week😊 I need some tips on bathroom improvement aaaa can't wait to see all the videos 💕
Thank you for a detailed tutorial!
I don’t know if anyone has asked this, but where did the pretty green floral shower curtain come from? It caught my eye as soon as I started watching the video.
I wish I had the energy to do more DIY projects. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos! I’ve learned so much!
Just the video I was looking for awesome!!
I am glad it is holding up
Very helpful. Thanks for your ideas.
Your husband must be so proud of you 🥰 love your videos it really inspires me
I have to do this to my old tan/brown bathtub. Some of these videos are scary and for me would almost insure failure. I can do this - thanks to your video. Thank you so much.
You can do it!! Just be very careful with the prep work. Don't skip that part. I have had great results with my shower and it's been nearly 5 years!
Amazing!!! I am about to do this and found your videos!! thank you!
Wow! Amazing video and info
Nice job and thorough professional step instructions - really liked the further info with care and treatment. For me unfortunately I don't think it will work having rentals that must take abuse
One minute in and I subscribed. You rock!
You are so talented. I love your Videos so much.
Aww, thanks, Caleb!
Omgz, this is exactly my bathtub and tile!
It's definitely a 70's tub! We had thee same tub and tile growing up but mom is gone now and the house got sold. 😥
Nice to see a handy woman😊😊😊
Amazing job. 💗
Wow.. Thats amazing.
Haha! I love this!!!!! I have the same blue bathtub....and blue tile that goes all the way to the ceiling. (Bags head against wall) BUT THISSSS...THISSSS GIVES MY BROKE ASS SOME HOPE hahaha! I'm so excited to try this now. Thank you for this video. :D
Amazing job!!
Great Job!
Very Impressive work!
Amazing work sis.. well done
You deserve a show on network television!
Aww, thanks, who know! Maybe someday?
I don’t have the energy to do this and I would not be able to breath with the smell. But you did an amazing job!
