Bathtub Rehab

Disgusting bathroom, people lived here with kids. the dirt had to be shoveled out in places. Note the creative paint scheme.
Two of the mounting points for the feet on the tub had been broken off.

Less than appealing paint on the feet.

Chemically stripping the green & yellow paint off.


I fixed the broken anchor points with 5/16" bolts & JB Weld epoxy. A week later it seems to have held, so we'll see if this is a long term solution. If it doesnt continue to hold I have already made arrangments to build a saddle for the tub to sit on.

Tub in paint booth, after spraying with black enamel.

Finnished bathrrom & tub. (New flooring, sink, vanity, painted walls, & restored tub)
