Can I refinish a bathtub?

Dave,

Can I refinish a bathtub? I am renting a 1930s house and do not want to buy a new bathtub but the original finish (I believe porcelain) is now very rough and stained.

Thanks,

Tammy Johnson


Hi Tammy,

The big boxes sell tub refinishing kits that are perfect for your situation. There is a choice of several colors. Follow the directions carefully and you should be happy with the results, smooth and one color. The finish will not be original, but more sanitary and clean appearing.
