A refinished bathtub is a great way to give your existing bathroom an updated look on a budget. Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit can be used on ceramic, porcelain and fiberglass bathtubs.
- Before you begin to refinish your bathtub, ventilate the area by opening windows or using fans.
- Apply painter's tape to any surface you don't want to paint.
- Open your Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit and thoroughly mix the Part B solution to ensure any settled pigment is dispersed.
- Add the Part A solution to Part B and mix thoroughly for 1 minute. Apply the mixed Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile coating within 6 hours.
- If using a high-quality, fine-bristle varnish brush, move the brush in only one direction for a smooth surface. Feather the edges as you paint to avoid a hard line between painted areas. Apply two coats, waiting at least 1 hour between them.
If using a high-quality, ¼” short nap roller made for kitchen or bathroom use, apply two coats, allowing at least 1 hour between them.
- Small bubbles will appear on the surface as you apply the coating. As it dries, Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile’s self-leveling properties will eliminate the bubbles.
- Allow the second coat to dry for three days before exposing your refinished bathtub to water.
