Awww....you are so sweet!! :) Glad you like the video!

LOL, she appreciated me helping her, for sure!! :) She's actually trying to sell her house now and was very thankful the tub was one less thing for her to have to worry about. :)

You're right, not a lot of skill is needed! AND it's also a self-rewarding DIY project that you’ll be extremely proud of.

So true!!

Yes! As a matter of fact Bathworks do-it-yourself kits work fantastic on ACRYLIC. Follow the same step by step instructions and if you have any other questions we have outstanding support.

You can use any of the Premium Kits or a Standard Kit to refinish your plastic stained bathtub. The Premium kits come with all the tools you'll need and the Standard kits come with just the paint and non-slip additive. You can purchase either online at www.bath-works.net - For more tips visit: craigsrefinishingtips.com/diy-bathtub-refinishing/

Thank you! That is the proverbial question - to strip or not? More and more professional refinishers, as well as our weekend warriors, are confronted with bathtubs & tiles refinished by some other company OR some other Do-it-yourself Kit. . I wish the answer was as easy as yes or no, but it’s not and both answers need an explanation. So, here you go: craigsrefinishingtips.com/bathtub-refinishing-pro-tips/

Yes, absolutely. As a matter of fact all of our Bathworks Kits work fantastic on kitchen sinks. Remember, we highly recommend our EZ Etch Kit for all porcelain and ceramic bathtub, SINKS, tiles, and floors.

One of the most common questions we receive about our Do It Yourself Kits is: "Can this product be used on an acrylic and fiberglass tub/shower"? The answer is absolutely Caroline! As a matter of fact, all our Bathworks Refinishing Kits will work fantastic on fiberglass tubs or shower units. But always remember, we do recommend (2) kits for a one-piece tub/shower unit or bathtub and wall surround.

Thank you!

One. All Bathworks Standard and Premium kits have enough material to two coat a standard size bathtub (60 x 32). We also highly recommend our EZ Etch Kit for porcelain bathtubs like this one.

A newly refinished bathtub will last as long as you take care of it! As long as a "store bought bathtub"? YES! Your bathtub has just been resurfaced using a Bathworks DIY Kit! Here are a few tips to help protect your investment: Avoid leaving wet washcloths on the surface for long periods of time. Stay on top of the soap. Soap scum will dull and dirty your finish very quickly! Unless you use a heavy abrasive it is quite difficult to remove. Hair dye will permanently stain and ruin everything… I live with three women, I know! :) When giving the dog a bath put down a towel to prevent scratches. If you're giving your cat a bath, well, wear body armor!!! ;) If you opted of the non-slip bottom, and need to use a bathmat, use the non-suction cup kind. Here's one we sell: www.bathtubrefinishingkit.net/Product/Bath-Mat--Clear Always clean with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Scrubbing Bubbles. Also, use preventative maintenance products, such as our bathtub polishing and care kit is great compliment to the BathWorks DIY Bathtub & Tile Refinishing Kit.

many people paint tiles, check how to paint tiles videos

Why use Ajax? There are so many effective non-abrasive cleaners.

Can you still scrub the bathtub though I wonder with any cleaning product once the surface has a painted coating? And, what would be the expected lifetime of the painted surface before it starts cracking and peeling off?

Thank you Alannah, we appreciate that. So first, we wanted to mention that Bathworks DIY kits are not fragile what-so-ever! As a matter of fact, Bathworks is a professional grade 2-part resin. And let me tell you, when all is said and done its tough as nails, never yellows and is GONNA last! Second, your newly refinished bathtub is going to clean super easy for you! With just your normal cleaning (staying on top of the soap scum) those hard abrasives will never be needed. Refinishing your bathtub with a high-quality DIY Kit not only is going to give you an extremely durable, high gloss look that you desire but it's also a self-rewarding DIY project that you’ll be very proud of.

Thanks for taking the time to explain more about your product. Perhaps another video on caring for the newly resurfaced bathtub would be helpful so that people don't just Ajax it like they did with their old tubs.

I just visited your website and see that you have chip repair kits if the resurfacing does get chipped. I'm interested in seeing any pics you may have of bathtubs that have been refinished with your darker colours e.g. red or black. Thanks

We recommend letting the new finish dry for at least 24 hours before using.

We strongly recommend removing the caulk around your fixture prior to doing any refinishing work, and then recaulking once the project is complete. Hope this helps!

@@bathworkskits Is this true even if it's brand new caulking? I was misinformed and thought I had to recaulk before applying the glaze

@@emilyfrank3954 The only kind of caulk that can be painted over is painter's caulk - which is acrylic latex. Most often we find and use silicone caulk around bathroom fixtures.. caulk by nature repels anything that tries to adhere to it. If the misinformation about the caulking came from any one of our sources (videos, instructions, etc.) please let us know where you found that so we can correct that.

The spray paint I mean

Greetings, if you're referring to the liquid primer application process - yes, we do instruct to use that to prime and coat the entire surface of the tub, both inside and out. This is a product that creates a much better bond to the surface than just applying the coating directly to the surface itself. If you're looking for additional primers to use, we do recommend Kilz oil-based primers (either aerosol or roll-on are fine.) Hope this helps, happy refinishing!

@@bathworkskits I was wondering if you could spray the whole tub with Kilz after applying the liquid Primer. I saw in the video it was only partially sprayed Thank you

I just consulted with our technical and product expert; they said to do one or the other, but not both. Kilz is especially helpful for any areas that are damaged by rust (you'd want to scrape, sand, remove any rust before applying) or if you have an area with high shine that you are not able to remove/sand down, but they do not recommend applying both Kilz and Liquid Primer over top on another. If you do have an area that requires Kilz to cover rust, do not use the liquid primer over that. You are able to spot prime with Kilz as needed. The topcoat will still cover the same way and leave a uniform finish. If you have any additional questions or would like to chat with someone about your project you are welcome to call us at 1.800.872.8827 or to email us at info@munroproducts.com. Hope this helps!

I have communicated with her and am happy to state that there hasn't been any issues with her tub.

Thank you

Ditto that, @Munroproducts! My neighbor hasn't had any problem with her tub. :)

Yes. As a matter of fact, Bathworks DIY Refinishing Kits work fantastic on all fiberglass bathtubs, tub/shower units, and tub and surrounds.

Greetings, in order to properly prepare an area with any rust build up, you will want to sand it down first to remove any loose pieces. Once done with that, remove the sanding debris from that area. If there are any pitted or crater-like areas, we recommend filling those with Bondo to make the surface flush with the surrounding area. Following that, we recommend using Kilz Original (Oil-Based) aerosol primer to seal the surface - this will help prevent the rust from bleeding through. After all of those steps are completed, you are ready to refinish your fixture. Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions you are certainly welcome to give us a call at 1.800.872.8827 and we can provide you with additional information. Happy refinishing!

I have that disease too. I see everything that is not plumb or level..I think there's a pill for that!

Greetings, we appreciate your feedback. We do have a limited warranty on our kits that are expressed in text on both the box and the back of the instructions. We do recommend wiping down your bath or shower after use, as is standard procedure for any sort of fixture like that.. it helps keep surfaces clean and ensures they hold up well. We do not recommend leaving items on any refinished ledges for at least a week after refinishing (think of if you just painted your cabinets with a hard enamel paint.. even though it's dry to the touch within a few hours, if you take your fingernail to the surface it's still going to leave a mark.) Bathmats are okay to use, so long as they do not have any suction cups - we explicitly state this in our care tips within the instructions. If you're able to see the tile underneath your coating, it sounds like not enough material was applied. We do see this often, which is why we recommend two kits for tub & wall surround application. We do also recommend doing two coats, which between two kits for a tub & wall surround application should be plenty of material. When you stretch your paint material out too far and are not generous enough with applying, the coverage is not going to be as good.. again, stated within the instructions about having a good amount of material on the roller. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please reach out to our office at 1.800.872.8827 or email us at info@munroproducts.com
