Today I’m sharing how we transformed our sad 80’s tub with a little paint. Here’s the simple steps you can take to adorably refinish a tub and shower to get a fresh and bright new tub!<\/em><\/h4>\n

I’ve been so excited to write this post. A could of months ago we painted, yes, painted our upstairs guest bathroom tub and shower. To say I was a bit nervous to take the jump would be an understatement but I’m so happy I did! It turned out so much better than I could have ever anticipated. In this post I’m going to share what I did and what I used to go from a stained almond colored tub to a beautiful bright white tub.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at what we started with. When we purchased our house this bathroom was a disaster. Later this week I hope to share the entire room reveal, so stay tuned for that. The room was a mess but the fiberglass tub was really just dirty. After a deep cleaning and some new knobs it wasn’t horrible. In fact, It wasn’t cracked or scratched at all. Sure, I’ve never liked the color but this bathroom really wasn’t used very much so our plan has always been to deal with it until we’re ready to gut it. After last year’s gut job in our master bathroom<\/a><\/strong> where Josh gutted the space to the studs and rerouted all of the plumbing, we just couldn’t stomach another remodel that intense any time soon. <\/p>\n

At some point durning quarantine it hit me. I could give the Rust-Oleum’s tub and shower refinish kit<\/strong><\/a> a try. Years ago I had done a little research on it and I read a few blog posts from those who had success with it. At the time it seemed like a lot of work with no real guarantee that it would hold up. Maybe it was all the time at home that made me just crazy enough to look into it a second time. This time I read a couple update posts from others and all seemed to be very pleased with it several years down the road. Each kit is only $23 so I decided it was worth a shot!<\/p>\n
