how to refinish a claw foot bath tub?

Answer 1

Take a look at this web site http://integritycoatings.com/ They give some pretty good information on what you have to do to paint ceramic tile or bath tub; as you can see it is not a easy job. But they give out a free sample. You probably should have a professional tub refinisher in your area estimate the job. It might be worth it to have them come do it or you might just p/u some stuff called "Klenks" which you can brush on , but it will not look as good or last as long.

Answer 2

I did one myself about 2 years ago plus an old pedestal sink. i bought the kit at lowes, it's a 2 stage process but not hard to do and it cost under 20 bucks, the only problem is you cannot use the tub for about 5 days until it totally dries and it should be in an area that is pretty much dust free.go to lowes or home depot and in the paint section and tell them what you want to do and they will get it for you, also they can tint it any color you want.

Answer 3

I have one in one of my bathrooms. It, of course is very old and I just put a coat of white paint on the outside of it and then took some of the ivy boarder I used on the walls and put it on the tub. What a conversation piece it is!! There are lots of options, use your imagination and have fun!!
