Knowing how pricey things can get around here I know it might be tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752633 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:53:13 +0000 Modern Daisy 752633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: Are you in the NYC area? I thought the job they did was fine, but they didn't go above and beyond or anything. It took us a year to finally find a company that was willing to come to our place just for a tub glazing for under $500 though, so whatever. I have nothing to compare it to but the finished product is acceptable to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752489 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:01:36 +0000 plantains 752489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: thanks for that, good to know that one one has a a tub reglazed and was happy with the results. </p> <p>I am hoping that when I tell DH that reglazing is an option he will be less annoyed with me.</p> <p>@LindsayInNYC: it is actually very comforting, here is hoping DH has that reaction too.</p> <p>.@Modern Daisy: were you happy with the company you used?

We had it reglazed for about $400 and it looks a lot better now, but even with the reglazing there are still some chips here and there, I don't think you can avoid it with a cast iron tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752369 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:26:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 752369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: oh fyi... even though the original glazing job was awful, we still used the tub for years before reglazing it. When we moved out and our tenants moved in we reglazed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752365 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:25:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 752365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!!

It cost about $400. The original job was a shoddy job and it peeled and cracked from the first month we used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752331 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:11:52 +0000 plantains 752331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: @kiddosc: thanks! I'll look into both options, price wise they don't sound bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752309 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:02:54 +0000 kiddosc 752309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who painted their tub with some sort of enamel, I would bet this could be repaired relatively easily. I found this kit on Amazon, maybe it would work. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-7860519-Refinishing-2-Part-White/dp/B000PTSBKW" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-7860519-Refinishing-2-Part-White/dp/B000PTSBKW</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752306 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:01:38 +0000 avivoca 752306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it isn't badly damaged, you may be able to re-glaze the tub. I don't know how much it costs in your area, but it runs around $300-400 here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752293 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:56:51 +0000 plantains 752293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for HELP!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-ruined-my-newish-bathtub#post-752181 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:28:19 +0000 plantains 752181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest, I have no idea.

In a weird moment aka my biggest brain fart ever, I threw a rag with paint stripper on it into our bathtub without thinking. It took me about 10 seconds to process the craziness of what I did and I pulled it out and instead he tub quickly then washed, but the damage was done. I now have bits that are bubbled and chipped. </p> <p>DH is going to have my head when he gets home. I am totally freaking out because we just moved into this place and the bathroom is gorgeous and less than 5 years old. I have no idea what to do. </p>
