04 Mar 06 - 09:30 PM (#1685332) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Alba Bobert...this is hard one. I can only think that an epoxy type of paint/waterproof sealer would work! Perhaps inquire with a Marina that refinishes Fiberglass Boats. Someone might be able to give you an idea about what they use! If the tub encloser is enamel, well you've got me. That sounds a bit of a nightmare! Again I can only think of some kind of an epoxy Paint but getting the finish right would be...so much work..I think:) These types of Paints, as you know, are generally pretty expensive and are labor intensive to use. Maybe just as cheap to have one of these Companies that fit a molded shell over your exsisting Tube encloser? I'll be interested to see if anyone has tackled this themselves.

04 Mar 06 - 09:33 PM (#1685336) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Helen I'm not clear about what you mean by a bathtub enclosure, either. I just recently re-surfaced a bathtub with 2-pack epoxy. It wasn't a difficult job, and not a lot of preparation apart from washing the tub thoroughly and sanding it down. It's in a rental property we just bought and are fixing up so no-one has used the bath yet. I don't know how well it will stand up to use and cleaning, but we didn't want to replace the tub just yet and couldn't work a nice colour scheme between the yuk green bath and the recently painted bright purple wall - which I like. There were only 2 colour choices - white & vanilla (a cream colour) when I bought the 2-pack a few years ago - to use on my own bath and hubby butted in & said no. Still have the cruddy old bath & the bathroom to go with it. %##@# ! BTW, Bobert, I'm about to start painting that cheap panelling in one of the bedrooms in the next week or so. Hubby reckons we don't need to sand it because he has a really good undercoat. Hmmm! I'll do a practice patch first, I think, and see how resilient it is to scratches etc. I'm more inclined to believe you about the sanding down beforehand. Helen |

I do NOT suggest you sand it! Lots of fiberglass particles would get free that way. If you paint it, either follow the directions on the can (or check with a fiberglass body shop) or just de-grease it really well. I think you ought to paint it dead black.... Helen, I started a thread on painting paneling a while back -- you might want to check it out. There is some good info there. |

05 Mar 06 - 12:00 AM (#1685378) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Kaleea After working for a home improvement company for many years & seeing practically everything under the sun that customers have done before we had to go in & redo/do over/tear out, I would suggest that you replace the tub surround. Absolutely do not sand. There is a nasty smelling chemical sort of like paint thinner which is used to prepare such a surface before applying the stuff bobad gave the link to. The epoxy stuff can be remarkably horrid-bubbling up, scratches easily (It does not like real hot water) & then it is impossible to remove once it starts turning into a mess. If the tub surround looks that bad, you might try closing your eyes in the shower. |

And the shower walls (the "surround", the paneling, the enclosure) change. If you want to change the color of the tub that's gonna be a whole other deal. Consider wallpaper. Easy to put on and looks good -- lots of nifty designs and it's always been popular. You can get some of the flocked stuff, maybe red or purple on shiny mirror-finish vinyl, and the tub enclosure will look just like it belongs in a...well, maybe wallpaper isn't the best idea, especially if the preacher comes visiting. |

05 Mar 06 - 10:17 AM (#1685589) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Stilly River Sage I agree with Kaleea, change out the surround. For all that it sounds like a lot of work, it would be easier and safer in the long run and look much better than all of the work you'll do to try to make the current one look different. Go visit the bathroom section at Lowe's and Home Depot and you'll see why. Personally I'd never want one of the prefab things at all, but if you have to have something it's easy and looks pretty good for a number of years. If it's a narrow room you'll probably have to pull the toilet before you do it, so get the right materials for re-attaching it. And maybe now is a good time to consider changing out the flooring and really get that Southwest look with a nice terracotta tile. SRS |

05 Mar 06 - 02:07 PM (#1685751) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Stilly River Sage Hell, Bobert, you've got the room all ready for the new surround if you're set to take out all of that stuff. I think it will go faster and you'll be happier with the new one. The kind of shower I'd love to have some day is one I saw at a friend's house. She has a large bathroom with storage cupboards and a high ceiling and skylights and such. The whole house has a beautiful stained finish on the concrete floors, and the shower is sloped a bit down and toward the drain, but there is no lip or extra floor tile or anything like that. The surround is of tile and is build to keep water from bouncing everywhere and to hold the usual stuff, and of course the showerhead and faucets are on the one end. It's a largish space, like it would be if there were a tub in it, except there's no tub. No rod, no shower curtain. Just this beautiful room with this great looking shower. She built this straw-bale house west of Tucson on an acre in a rural area. The guest room has a traditional bathroom with a tub and shower, and the way she designed it that room has it's own door and a sitting room and is off the kitchen and she uses it as a small bed and breakfast. Anyway, why do all of the rest of that work in the bathroom but not finish the tub? You'll end up with some funky-ass decoupage thing that is going to be the first thing the next owner tears out (and will decrease the value of the house when you eventually try to sell it, or your heirs sell it, whatever). Just my two cents worth. SRS |

05 Mar 06 - 03:26 PM (#1685813) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Helen Well, now I get it. I've been thinking, with the southwest colour scheme, doesn't that include blue sky. Can you work that in somehow, like having a picture on the wall of a desert with that clear blue sky you only seem to get out there (well, here in our outback is what I am thinking about). something like this You could even do a muriel on the enclosure wall of a desert scene. Then the blue wouldn't seem so out of place. Or maybe with the decoupage you could just put clouds and that would tie in. But the 2-part epoxy really wasn't a big problem to do. Preparation was pretty simple & quick - hubby used his sanding machine on the straight surfaces and we did the rest by hand. Then mask off the plug hole, cover the taps with plastic bags - to protect them & prevent water dropping onto the surface (it was a sinking hot day when I did the first coat, though, so the couple of little round spots I ended up with were from sweat I think, so a plastic bag on your forehead might be in order too! ::-) ) The goop went on really smoothly. It was the consistency of pancake batter, so easy-as. There was only a small amount and I thought it wouldn't cover for 2 coats, but it did. You'd need to buy 2 cans if it is the same size as the one I used. The brand here is White Knight Tub 'n' Tile. I just mixed the 2 parts and kept half in the frig. For the second coat I had to bring it to room temperature for an hour (I don't think they meant 40 deg C, though like it was that day) and then apply it. Go for it, Bobert! And I totally understand about being bathroomed out. There comes a time when enough is enough and the quick solution is the best solution at that time. Helen |

07 Mar 06 - 04:12 AM (#1687021) Subject: RE: BS: Painting a bathtub enclosure??? From: Helen Ok, these are the destructions for the Oz brand I used: I don't know what the equivalent product would be in your neck of the woods. It's referred to as epoxy enamel. White Knight Tub n Tile Suitable Surfaces Tub 'n' Tile refinishes bath tubs, wash basins, laundry tubs, toilets, porcelain and metal surfaces with a gleaming new colour. Drying Times Touch dry: 6 hours. Re-Coat: After 12 hours and before 36 hours. Full Cure: 4 - 5 days. Drying times may be extended in low temperature and high humidity. Coverage Up to 12 square metres per litre depending on surface porosity and film thickness. Thinning: Not required. Preparation To achieve a superior finish, thorough surface preparation is essential. If the surface is not prepared properly, poor adhesion will result. The prepared surface needs to be cleaned thoroughly with an abrasive cleaning powder or Rustguard Solvent. Sanding of the entire surface is also required before application. It is advisable to cover taps with plastic bags in case of water leaking and to apply masking tape at edges (such as plug holes) of surface to be coated. Mixing: Stir contents of both A and B cans separately with a flat paddle. Pour the contents of cans A and B into an all-metal container and stir well until completely mixed (approximately 5 minutes). Divide mixture in half and store one half in a tightly closed metal container in lower part of refrigerator. Allow the other half to stand for one hour before use. Stir for 5 minutes before application. Application Details Start applying Tub 'n' Tile around the edges with a clean, pure bristle brush. Continue down to base of the surface to be painted. Tub 'n' Tile is a self-levelling finish which, for best results, should be applied in thin coats. A second coat should be applied for a good finish. Apply no sooner than 12 hours and no later than 36 hours after first base coat. Use remaining contents from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature (approximately 1 hour) before using. Stir for 5 minutes before application. For best results, allow a minimum of 5 days warm weather drying before use. Pack Sizes 500ml cans Available in White and Vanilla only Health & Safety Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet available on request. I used one packet for the bath, which is a reasonably large bath, so two packs of a similar size would be needed for the bath and enclosure. In which case, that's less mucking around because you would mix the first packet up and use it for round one, and then mix the second from scratch for round two. Having to store half in the frig meant having to wait an hour for it to come to room temperature, but starting with a new packet for round two would make it a quicker process. The brand I used has 2 separate tins each holding 500mls. Helen P.S. when you said the simple solution, I assumed you meant hanging a picture on the wall. |

But the floor was slated, and slates break easily.... DO NOT change it. I like the decoupage idea. That is what Formica is, after all, and that is waterproof. Just paper, resin encapsulated.

Plus, the P-Vine just wouldn't like it too much an' though I ain't no expert on womenz, I purdy sure on this one... Maybe pages outta my old Volkswagen repair manual seein' as I done broke and fixed everything on it allready and no longer need the manual... Bobert |
