Pepper Hume on Feb 28, 2015Would you consider lining the shower with shower curtains on tension rods against the walls? Perhaps you could cover the floor with colored safety mats.Helpful Reply

Kris {Driven By Decor} on Mar 01, 2015I'm not sure of the cost but look into having a professional reglaze it. A good reglaze job can last 10+ years and looks great. The previous owners of our house did that to our pink tub and shower tile and it has held up well.Helpful Reply

Monica Talley on Mar 01, 2015I repainted a grungy harvest gold tub by thoroughly sanding surface, washing then with Krud cutter, after all was dry I primed with Zinser BIN. It took three thin coats. I used a high density foam roller used for cabinets. After the second coat I sprinkled on no slip available in my paint section. Once the primer was in place. I then used one coat of satin elastomeric white paint. This is usually used on outside or water exposed surfaces. A professional relaxing would have cost me $3500.00 as the tub and wall tile had to be coated. I used $150.00 for all my supplies.Helpful Reply

William Tillis on Mar 01, 2015Your tile installation appears to be in good condition. I would consider decorative decals to introduce additional color. Changing the kelvin temperature of the light used to illuminate the shower can modify the look of the pink color.1 marked as helpful Reply

Sarah Davis on Mar 02, 2015I've checked into this situation for an ancient white tub, not wanting the expense right now of changing the tub itself. We tried repainting and it lasted 4 months. So the answer? A professional re-glazing. It's the medium cost effective route to go.Helpful Reply
