DIY Shower Wall Refinishing Using Bathworks Kit

As part of my overall bathroom makeover, I wanted to try and refinish the old, outdated-looking, cultured marble shower walls. I have no issue with the cultured marble, but the color is hideous in my opinion. I looked around online and settled on a product called Bathworks, a DIY refinishing kit meant to be used on sinks, bathtubs and shower walls. The process is simple and easy to follow, and very similar to painting. In the second half of this video, I give an in-depth “after action report”, explaining what I think I did right, wrong, and what could have been done differently.

What did you use to fill the screw holes left behind by the shower doors?

I ended up using all purpose Bondo putty to fill in the holes. However the normal Bondo is only water resistant not water proof, so I would not recommend it unless you intend to recoat the the panels with a new water proof finish like I was attempting to do in the video. There are some small kits on the market that are designed to patch holes in shower panels, they are typically around 20-30 dollars. I used the Bondo because I had it on hand and I knew once I applied my new finish to the panels, the Bondo would not be in direct water contact anymore. The Bondo product I should have used is the Fiberglass Resin, it is waterproof and its listed uses are tub, shower and sink repair. I have never used that particular Bondo product before so I can't say for sure how good it is.

Peeling is from not prepping properly.

Maybe, but I cleaned the shit out of those shower walls off camera.

I used this product and the coverage is bunk. The little woman actually used 2 kits to do just the tile surround so it was extra think on the walls. Was it extra durable, not hardly. I wouldn't waste my time on this product. It's been 2 weeks since the application and I can already see bare tile underneath. Let's see what the manufacture has to say about it, oddly, there is nothing about the warranty in the kit. Now I'm out about 300 dollars and still have to replace my tiles....short cuts aren't allowed in life people..

Do not buy this product. I used it and it failed by the next day. it started peeling in 2 spots. I followed the instructions as it was written. I'm also a car painter and know how to properly prepare a surface before refinishing it.

I agree. I say at the end of the video that I do not recommend it. It was a horrible process and the final product was not worth it.
