Has anyone refinished their tub with the kit from

Lowe's?

My tub is awful, but really doesn't need to be perfect. The house is old, so it just needs a pick me up. The kit is about $35.

Anyone?

We did. We did it in late 2009, and it held up really well until we put a bath mat down. Now it's starting to peel where the suction cups on the mat are.

It was pretty easy though, it's a little runny and we do have a few drip marks, but it looks pretty nice for a 50 year old tub. Oh, and the stuff is smelly, like our whole house smelled terrible for days, so I would do it with every window open if possible.

We did ours. Like pp, the kit smells really bad. It took us 3 coats before we couldn't see the previous green color. You can see some brush strokes, but that could be user error. Its been a little over a year since we did it and it is holding up pretty well. It did crack in one spot, but that was from DH dropping his clippers while shaving his head. But overall, we are happy with it.

We did and it lasted about 3 months before it started peeling and the white always had a pinkish hint. When we paid a company to come in and reglaze they charged an additional 75 bucks to remove the old epoxy. I have heard it can work, but for us it was $105 mistake. The professional reglazing had been fantastic and looks great!

I think ours was done prior to our buying the house - took about a year before it started peeling up really badly where my knees usually rest on the side of the tub (love to read in the tub, and now everyone who looks in our bathtub will know). I think if we were shower-ers it would be fine.

(newbie, btw - I'm 25, in the limbo between med school and residency, married, no kids, 2 cats. nice to meet you!)
