Last week we picked this antique cast iron bathtub up for just £50 but it was in desperate need of some repair.
The outside was really showing its age and the inside needed a re-enamel coating. So we got to work with our Tubby Kit, some car body filler and fresh paint.
Total cost: Under £100! Bargain!

Excellent! Super video for those who don't have an air compressor, spray gun, orbital sander, ventilation system, etc. The host of the video kept the process understandable and digestible! Thank you.

Great demo of the Tubby Kit application, a perfect product for restoring old baths to as good as new for a fraction of the price of a new one.😃

@leanneb6291

Thanks for sharing this seems like a good product..

@GamesMaster-HD

Was just looking into various bath enamel restore videos and had to watch this one. Why? We have the exact same bath 😂 same shape same feet, same taps. Couldn’t find a better guide if we tried 🎉

@chesteruk

Great video, thank you. I have a similar bath as this that needs re-finishing. How flat was the finish when the paint dried? I ask as a relative re- painted their cast iron bath and the finish was dog rough - I actually took skin off my arse whilst having a bath. No idea what they used to paint it on though.

@amycresswell8281

Hi, can you recommend a touch up paint, I have resurfaced and it's absolutely brilliant but some dust landed during the drying process and I want to sand a small section and give it a light coat, cheers

Great video. We have just used Tubby's on a 50 year old avocado enamel, cast iron bath. All good except a couple of areas that have pitted and the paint hasn't covered fully. Can we re -apply another coat of Tubby's over the finished bath? How would you prepare the bath for a recoat? Can you recommend any other course of action?

How did you clean the outside? With chemicals? Wire brush? Products? I have seen some recs for wire brush -- but I wonder if that scratches up more?

Did you sand outside? Or just clean & what did you use for outside before paint?

Hi can you please update on how well this application has lasted over time thanks

@KimHeimbuch

Could Tubby also be used to refinish an old farmhouse sink?

@Ale-dh9mv

What kind of paint did you use for the outside? Latex or should it be enamel?

@cinaannie7338

Does the tubby kit come in any colors OTHER than white???

@natashawills2758

What if the tub has rust on the outside? What do i do first?

Old enamel has lead in it. This is a great video but the person should have been wearing a tight fitting and 95 mask or better yet a respirator from 3M!
