    Thanks! I'll check into that also. Thanks for the heads-up about the price KMS! I was actually wondering if it was as 'cheap' as they were saying. lol! Tho, probably still cheaper than putting in a brand new tub, which we don't really need. Just wanted to replace that outdated blue-marble-swirl color to make it fresh and (almost) new again. lol! @Arrowhead... it was cracks I was concerned about. Thanks for the heads-up on that too! Well, I will definitely being doing more research on this. Thanks guys!

    Susan I find the easiest cleaner ...»
    to use is the scrubbing bubbles foam spray - requires minimum effort. Takes lime away from ceramic and for tough grout, spray and scrub grout with a toothbrush so you concentrate where the grout is. I have several friends that have used this on old showers after they moved in and they report that it worked ver well. After you get it clean, then spraying with the bubbles once a week should keep it under control.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Mold and Mildew in the Shower

I know this is a common problem but I cannot keep mold and or mildew out of my shower. I have a tub and a single unit wall surround that requires caulking between the two. I have caulked, ...»
removed caulk and re-caulked so many times all for not. Now I have a ceiling fan and two doors leading from my small bathroom and I always leave one door open (ceiling fan needs to be replaced as of recently) when taking a shower but I still have mold. Is there anything else out there that I can use? I'd used the caulk made for bathrooms/showers. Thanks

    learned from the mistake. We were told to just run the fan for a half hour after showers. But since we replaced it we check it and also use a squeegee and the fan and try to wipe dry where we can.

Remodeling: Bathroom tile question

We are rennovating our bathroom... it is fairly small (6X8). Standing in the doorway the sink and toliet are to the left and straight ahead is the tub. I am wondering if we should do the same tile on the walls of the shower as we do on the floor of the bath. Attached is the before photo... the tub is now white and not surrounded by tile. Thanks!

    elements such as towels or artwork. If you want to change up the tile a little, maybe change the direction or pattern - but I would recommend the two tiles be really close in color.
