Plastic bathtub refinishing is similar to the process of refinishing and repairing porcelain and fiberglass bathtubs. First, the surface must be chemically cleaned to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits, or body oils. Next, all cracks and chips are filled and sanded smooth. Apply tub and tile self leveling paint (at all hardware stores) and let it cure. Beautiful bathtub in a day.
There is a tutorial at www.domesticimperfection.com She did a fantastic job and will answer a lot of your questions.
Thanks Rachel. Do you know if it can be finished so that the plastic looks like porcelain?
Thanks Bobbi.
I went to the above website. She has a lot of great ideas but found nothing on painting the plastic bathtub walls
