Painting Your Bathroom Tub

11/26/2018

Do you ever walk into your bathroom and cringe at the sight of your bathroom tub? Noticing that it's just lost all it's appeal and luster? With time and usage, bathroom tubs begin to develop disturbing stains which, when left alone, deteriorate into permanent markers on the body of your bathroom tub. 
How to paint a tub
Tub Color Change: Or maybe you just want to change the color of your bathroom tub and sink generally since the old one is becoming outdated. If this is you, then you probably have considered, once or twice, to just pull the thing out and replace it with a newer one. 

But then, there is the constraints of your budget. Well, you don’t have to worry anymore. Now, you can spend less on hiring plumbing or remodeling professionals, like us, to replace your bathroom tub. Painting is always an option and you can always learn how to do it yourself.
​
Here, we provide a step-by-step procedures to painting your bathroom tub to achieve a new and awesome look, even if you have no prior experience with painting bathroom tubs before.

​Choose your Tools: Getting all the tools together before commencing the job is a very important factor. The results you are bound to get from such a task is dependent on how efficient the tools you assemble are. We will recommend the following tools: a 150 & 400 grit sandpaper, lime cleaner, comet cleaner, good gloves, painter’s tape, scour pads, ventilation mask, refinishing kit, paint brush, paint roller, paint sprayer, Homax kits which come with epoxies specifically designed for this kind of painting. Assembling these tools before commencing the job reduces the chances of leaving out specific aspects.

​Preparation: The amount of time you spend cleaning and sanding the surface of the bathroom tub which you wish to paint will determine the efficiency of your paint adhesion. This is because a rough surface is a more likely promising source of adhesion. The more efficiently you sand and clean, the more likely your paint will last through time. This is why it is advised to focus so much energy and time into the preparation process.
Ventilation: While applying the epoxy, make sure to make sure that there are no children or pets who can bump into the bathroom while you are applying the epoxy. This is because epoxy is not healthy to breathe in. For yourself, when applying the epoxy, be sure to wear a respirator mask and use a fan where possible. Ventilation is an important aspect in this process.

Applying Epoxy: For the application of the paint, use a spray gun or your paint brushes and rollers. The brushing and rolling methods could work efficiently, but the best finishes are achieved with a spray gun. Remember, even and consistent coats are far better than trying to load up with one coat. Always sand/clean and allow ample dry time between coats.

​Tub Epoxy Curing: Just because your tub’s surfaces are dry to the touch, DOES NOT mean they are ready for foot traffic and water. Some paint and epoxy floor material needs cure time before use. Read the manufacture’s recommendations for wait time before showering, etc.
