Resurfacing bath with Bunnings purchase

Thought I would post a before and after bath resurface. This bathtub would not respond to any cleaning treatment under the sun. I went to Bunnings and found a cheap bath resurface kit.

Worked brilliantly. Bath could not be used for 7 days. Did it between tenants. Very happy with the $50 fix. As good as new

 

Looks great, be interesting to see what it looks like in 12mths.
What were the products used throughout the process, especially cleaning/preparing ?
Does the final finish feel like paint, will it scratch easily?

 

Yes, will be interesting to see in 12months. The way it looked before I had nothing to lose.

Feels like a normal bath surface..doesn't look or feel like a painted surface. I tried to scratch it after the 7 days had been to see how it would go and it didn't scratch at all.

No process really other than cover a really thick layer of "the stuff". Too thin and it doesn't work, I ended up pouring the container all over the bath which worked well. Not sure of the brand .. sorry but its not white knight.

 

Yeah looks really good. Is it an acrylic bath?
Would love to know the brand, if you can remember. I bet it lasts a while because you left it for 7 days. I bet this is where "most people" go wrong.

 

I just did a bench top with a bunnings
Product and was also well impressed how it came up.

Any photos of the job Special order?

 

The proof will soon reveal itself after 12 months usage- please do keep us posted if this does last- be interested to know brand and specifics used.

 

Very nice. Before I caught the bug, I used to rely on others to do stuff, but now I like to give it a go. I find there are so many things in Bunnings that are so useful and their DIY videos online are amazing as well. I find that the quality of the stuff in Masters are alittle better but their price is abit dearer.

 

I'd be interested in the brand name too, we don't have a Bunnings locally so might have a look at Mitre 10.

 

do you know if you have anything for toilet bowls, which have discoloured black in colour

 

For this you need Harpic Oxi Action Bleach crystals. Leave it soak overnight. http://www.harpic.com.au/products/deep-clean/harpic-oxi-action-bleach-crystals/

 

HAHa Y-man ...
thanks Propertunity

 

Apparently.... the reason for the black in the S-Bend is due to using cheap toilet brushes, they have fine wire inside the bristles to provide strength, with use the wire is exposed on the tips of the bristles which in turn scratches the porcelain.
Apparently the environmentally friendly way to remove the black is with a biro eraser

 

Did you do the grout on the tiles as well? The bath puts it to shame.

 

Is that Darth Vader's suite?

 

I have a delightful roman bath that I'm not quite ready to rip out just yet - I might go down this route myself. If you can find the name of the product that would be great

 

Not sure if its the product @sammmeee used but I just did a quick search Jess and found this, not sure how far 500ml will go on a roman, single coat maybe (its all in the prep and cure time).

It looks really good! It is great hearing about these cheap fixes that have such a good result.

 

Oh darn, we got rid of our weird old black toilet seat a little while ago, it's just coming back in.
