Have you ever had an old tub refinished. We did this in one of our other homes and just had it done at Spindle Cottage. Man, what a difference it makes.
It is all taped off in the above pictures and that will need removing today. The odor the day of the painting is very strong!! Gave me a headache!! Had to have the bathroom window open and it was very very cold outside. We have been having teen temps in the mornings here in SC.
Thankfully I have the above gas fire and another fireplace with gas---makes all the difference!!
This is something we really NEED to do. I will be looking into this as soon as the holidays are over :)

Merry Christmas to you!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tub looks beautiful. I haven't ever had a tub painted, but if I do I know that it will look great. The end results you have are good.
God bless,

NannyKim~ what a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in an old claw foot tub, but the ones I find that I can afford need refinishing. Is this costly? Is this something y'all did yourselves or did you pay to have it done?
I know y'all are preparing to move right? So I guess the return investment would be good.
I don't want to sell... I just want something different than what I have currently--fiberglass with a hole patch job!
Hi NannyKim - your new bathtub is going to look fantastic when you're done. Speaking of fantastic, that fireplace of yours is super fantastic! What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family!

I have an old bathtub from about 1940, but I've resisted having it refinished for fear that it would chip or have a chalky finish. Did the one you refinished before hold up well over time? How much did it cost to have it done? Thanks for any advice you might send my way!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing difference! We have been freezing here in GA, too! Stay warm! Merry Christmas!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWe did have it done in an older home we restored. At the same time they stripped layers of paint off of ceramic tile on the walls of the same bathroom. I remember how sick the smells made me, but what it did for the tub was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really nice. I love your little cottage. I don't know if I have visited this blog before. This cottage is cute! Have a Merry Christmas!

That tub looks great. When things settle down, I'd love to hear what was used to refinish it. They don't have such refinishers here in Ukraine, but maybe if I knew what they used I could do it.
