Why repurchase your expensive shower caddy when you can easily restore it to new again! There’s an easy and inexpensive way to bring it back to life again and finally get rid of those rust and stain marks.
No matter how many times a week I scrubbed and scrubbed, the rust and soap scum stains would magically reappear on my shower caddy. Even after three days, they would show up and turn all of my body scrubbers into a rusty mess along with it. Yuck! It was so frustrating and the thought of having to buy another one really made me even more frustrated!

Even after three days, they would show up and turn all of my body scrubbers into a rusty mess along with it. Yuck! It was so frustrating and the thought of having to buy another one really made me even more frustrated!
That’s when I had a light-bulb moment and found an easy and inexpensive way to turn it back into that brand new shower caddy I once had. Spray paint! Yep – easy as can be. Check out exactly how I transformed my old shower caddy into a brand new sparkling clean one.
Here’ the mess I had to deal with on a weekly basis. No matter how hard I scrubbed, the rust would always return. Not to mention how many expensive Magic Erasers I went through in the process.
The best part is, you can choose any color you like. There are so many varieties of spray paint colors on the market, and it’s so much fun deciding which color you want. Plus, if you get tired of that color and need a change, it’s so easy and quick to do!
I like to spray paint outside if possible. Regardless if you do it indoors or outside, be sure to wear protective gear like a mask and goggles. I prep the area with an old towel or drop cloth first.
Be sure to get at least 3-4 good coats of paint, let dry, and spray the back side of the caddy.
Now, my shower products have a new clean place to sit and look pretty! I hope this inspired you to transform your old rusty shower caddy into a masterpiece too! Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section below.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Did it rust again after a few weeks using the painted caddy?
No question; just wanted to thank you for the idea. I just removed my disgustingly rusted favorite caddy this morning and was about to replace it. Now I will clean and paint it.![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f44d.png)
