NIIICE!!! A “10” rating from 1-10. Great how to video. Very detailed and nothing left to chance. The finished product looked like it was a newly purchased/installed bathtub. Excellent. 👍🏽

[@DPTubs]

I appreciate that!

[@wazup3333]

​​@@DPTubs why didn't you sand after the acid wash?

[@tonylopez7069]

After starting wrong kinda wrong I decided to watch videos (seems like 30 of them). This (and your other tub-strip vid) is the absolute BEST right down to the Jasco because my research says it's best but the product says not on tubs - Thanks for your input there, now I will usue it. Unfortunately, it's an RV tub and I grinded it down to (nevermind) before I learned just to sand. Thanks so much! I still might need to hire someone but I'll have that experience of knowledge in advance, if I do. Thanks again

[@lovesupreme6154]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Great video. I transformed a claw foot tub. The key is the Jasco. There was only one can on the shelf - I got 90% done with that can in a hour. The next day it took 2 cans of goof off, 5 hours additional hours and much more elbow grease to finish the remaining 10% - man I wish there would have been a 2nd can of Jasco available. I would say the 2nd most important key is plenty of fresh scraper blades - they get dull pretty quickly - I went through about 10 of them, remember to flip them over and use both sides. Once I was like 98% done I used an electric sander with 80 grit and that got all the little remaining stuff fast and easy. Thanks again, without this video the not for tubs warning on the Jasco would have scared me away from it.

I had to come back and comment here because this video saved me. I spent a long first day super discouraged. Followed this exactly and it helped me remove the finish straight away. Wanted to help anyone else possibly doing the same. I'm so glad I didn't convince myself I couldn't do this. 🥲 If you're refinishing your own tub, do yourself a favor and get a paint sprayer. It can be done with the roller but it's challenging. Also, consider that this might take you at least a couple days. I spent a whole long weekend doing this. Thanks for posting this and helping me, OP!!

[@ashleylauren000]

Yess this video is so good !! my tub has about four layers of paint on it and it peels when I’m in the shower so I got tired of it and decided to start stripping the paint off and didn’t realize How big of a job this is but this video definitely helped and I love how you broke down the products!

one of the best jobs I've seen, congratulations, one question: what type of primer do you use?

[@michaelgordon2860]

Great videos and I'm trying to refinish my tub. Do you have a video where you don't not use a spray device? Something with a roller maybe?

[@dennisjenkins4987]

I have the same question

[@DPTubs]

@@dennisjenkins4987 I don’t show a roller because I would never use one. Messy, inconsistent finish, IMO! There are definitely some DIYers who would use it and that’s totally fine because the spray gun could get pricey. You could use a spray can Homax and they have an attachment that will allow you to spray the can like a gun. Check out my latest video as yiu could see me use it when I spray the primer around the perimeter of the tub.

[@newlooktubrestoration4431]

Does removing reglazing from a steel bathtub damage it so it has to be reglazed again or can you just leave it off?

[@ChateraJohnsonWIRealtor]

Great work! Any advice on how to remove your stains from an old cast iron tub?

[@DPTubs]

Try water and 800 grit wet dry sand paper...if that doesn’t work try a little lacquer thinner and sand paper to see if that works.

Thank you, DP. It is a professional job. Question, When do you remove the protective tape from the drain hall? After completely dry, or right after spraying finished? And how?

[@DPTubs]

I donut right after but you could also remove it after it dries to be safe not to touch anything when wet. Poke a hole in the middle and then peel off from the center out.

[@Izzywizzy74]

@@DPTubs So you do remove it right after ?? or you wait until it is dry??

good video. hope you can help me with a question? had tub resurfaced a couple years ago. i used an ardex silicone caulk and within a couple month turned yellow. have been putting the project off because i am scared to remove the caulk, not knowing how careful i have to be to not mess up the resurfaced tub? they gave instructions on cleaning it and a list of approved cleaners. i know i can't use a caulk remover on it because that stuff is harsh, any ideas? thanks.

[@jen2804]

Will the sanding and spraying the stuff on work if I just want to remove the cheap paint the old sellers painted our tub with? They put some sort of smooth coating on in some areas but abrasive paint in others. I just want to recover the tub underneath, that's all, no repainting.

[@tomoleary1367]

Hi. great video. how do you scrape the four inside corners in the tub? they're too concave for blade. Thanks.

i love watching your video. i recently had my tub and sink reglazed. it was glazed 8 years ago but wore down over the years so we redid the job. we paid to acid strip off the old glaze then apply the new cost. the tub came out great but the sink had a stain(or area of compromised glazing) that still showed up after the job. how is this possible. i can send a video if you’re interested in helping me solve my mystery :-) ?

is there any way to remove "drips" off of a previously reglazed tub without reglazing the entire tub?

[@joerut7585]

great work ! what do you use to reetch the non slip etching to the floor of the tub

[@DPTubs]

If the customer wants they have an option for a non skid coating application. I use shark grip

[@noelgutierrez01]

Loved it. YOU'RE A PRO! Danny how long does it take you to do a job like this from start to finish?

[@DPTubs]

With stripping or removing an old coating it will take about 4-5 hours

[@MrJuanae86]

How much extra do you charge for this type of scraping. I seen you charge $300 for the reglazing but this seems like a pain

[@DPTubs]

Boomanik Boomerangs the stripping is an extra $75-$100

[@smann7761]

Dig the video. I was thinking of reglazing my tub a bisque color. Do u think that will make my place harder to sell later on. ;)

Yes I do! White is most common especially for homes requested by real estate agents

Hi can you tell me what product you use to glaze and what setup as far as tools go when spraying

[@chassityc1629]

When he says re-glaze, does he mean it will be as if it were a new tub like the porcelain feeling in stead of the ruff paint feeling. When you re-glaze will it peel ?

[@beckyh6926]

Can you also show sometime the best way or products to care for the tub afterwards?

[@DPTubs]

Yes! Great idea!

[@elivial5525]

Is there a top coat to use to make it so shiny

[@1959Berre]

It always looks nice when it has been done recently. Soon it starts to crack and peel. Those solutions never last. Better replace the tub right away.

[@DPTubs]

Not true! Depends on who does it, material used how thick of coating, and the type of care. Also keep in mind that we are always Reglazing a bathtub that was once new that didn’t last itself.

You can use an epoxy but before you apply the epoxy resin you would need to apply a bonding agent to the surface. I use BULLDOG adhesion promoter to help with bonding and adhesion. Test a small area first for compatibility.
