Tub & Tile Touch Up Gloss White Paint Kit

First of all let me just say right up front. I am 72yrs old and yes I have used this product and my review is my honest opinion. No one has offered me anything for my opinion and I do not have an agenda for giving my option. It is honest and true. That being said I will tell anyone who wants to know. I have read some of the positive and some of the negative reviews. Ther is a lot of truth in both. Except where someone who has been lazy and down right negative from the start. Does this product have a strong odor? Yes yes yes it definitely does. Is this product easy to use? Let me say this. If you are afraid of a little hard work and just plain lazy you need to look else where. But if you want a nice looking clean looking outcome and dont mind the work then this is your product. I have just finished my second tub unit. First I researched this product throughly last year before Thanksgiving. I have a own ŵhouse that was built in 1986 that was my mom's. It's mine now. I have done a lot of work in it and wanted to do something in the bathroom with the fixtures. The tub unit was original the toilet and sink had been replaced with white. The tub was that brown color and was faded looking. I didn't want the expense to replace it so I looked at options. That's how I found the Rustoleum tub and tile gloss white finish. The price was right and I was willing to get my hands dirty and work hard. Let me just say right here. A negative mind produces a negative out come. ALWAYS. I was skeptical to say the least. Do I expect this to be a job that will last 50yrs? No i do not. Do I expect this finish to look like a factory produced new unit? No I donot. Now right down to the truth. Starting out with a dark color going to an expected white finish I knew was going to be a.challenge to begin with. If at all possible. I am not a professional painter nor a contractor of any kind. With the cost roughly around $50 how could go wrong. Let me say yes there is a very strong odor. I used a respiratory and highly recommend using one. The first coat is just a base coat. DO NOT keep going over the same area . It will get tacky and not do well. Start with a thin coat and move on. Don't linger and waste time. If you don't have a couple hours to devote to this project do not start it. Cover with the base coat. Don't expect great coverage to begin with. Wait at least one hour before a second coat. Do expect there to be some minor streaks. If you encounter bumps and little specks then after that first hour lightly use a t least a 220 grit sand paper. This is not a job for the lazy. Continue with the second coat. Do not work slowly. Take the time to work with it but do not keep going over the same area. The product self levels as time goes on. I used three -four coats. DO NOT use a foam roller whatsoever!! It will come desolve and come apart melt if you will. I made.this mistake . I changed to another type 1/4 in nap. And finished allowing it to dry. After Christmas I used 220 grit WET sanded it and applied another coat this week. It is a very nice finish. Yes it does have a texture to the finish. Some have referred to as orange peel. That is true but ok in my book. I don't know how this product will hold up over the ⁴long haul but listen it looks very nice I am happy with it and my friend had me just finish her tub yesterday. Long story short. Would I recommend this product....if you are not afraid of a little work and willing to have a positive attitude and realistic expectations then go for it. I can't speak of how long this product will hold up over the.long haul but if it lasts for a few years it will be well worth the money. I can always do it again. And not have spent thousands for a new tub. But in my opinion I do have a.new tub. Thanks for your time. Now go do some work and get yourself a great looking clean tub..and get over the fear of the fumes.

In an old single wide 1989 trailer until I can put something new, every time we tear something apart it’s more work (rotted wood). I decided to just use this and I give it 10 out 10 highly recommend and while it does stink it’s super tolerable. Maybe some are ultra sensitive but it’s not that bad. It was easy and upon placing 4 coats after each coat it looked wrong but upon drying each time it looked perfect. I bought a spray can of this in case I need to do touch ups. Don’t overthink it and once mixed you have six hours, wait at minimum one hour between coats. It does not store like paint. Happy restoration!

I cannot attest for the durability of the product because i only just put it on the walls, i just want you to know that this smells exactly like kwick stripp paint stripper and mineral spirits had a baby and this monstrosity is the result. however its more concentrated. At least with paint strippers the smell goes away but this stuff just lingers. It has actually made me dizzy which is unusual for bad smelling diy projects. another thing is when you first apply the paint its very thin and watery but by the second coat its quite thick and so no matter how much you de-lint your roller it will pull the nap apart. I only had 43.67 square feet to cover so I was able to get 3 coats out of 1 can which seems to be exactly what I needed. It does seem to dry (to touch) within the hour so if your doing a tile wall (rather than a shower/tub) thats nice. and it is self leveling, which gives a smoother finish which is wonderful. But god the smell. even if there are flaws in the wall once its dry I most likely will not return to this product to fix it but rather live with the flaws because its just not worth it if you have to live in the house afterwards.

This is a great product. revived our cast-iron tube to near-new condition. It does have a POWERFULL smell. If you can apply the paint and then leave for the weekend, that's about right. follow the instructions carefully.

Be sure to wear a respirator, use the extractor fan and open widows if you have that option! Let it cure properly, tape everything you don't want refinished. I started with a foam roller, within the first 3 minutes it was breaking down, I used another foam roller and the same thing happened. I decided to use a good quality 1/4" nap roller which gave the tub a slightly rippled finish, which looks factory finished and adds to the non-slip effect!! If I get the chance to share a photo of the tape removed and hardware installed, I will.

THE SMELL IS 100% NOT WORTG BUYING THIS PRODUCT! I read the reviews before purchasing so I had some knowledge that the smell was a little strong. But oh my gracious! No matter how many Air Drs, fans, vents we had open and moving, the smell was absolutely overwhelming and painful. If you have children and you decided to do this, you must be out of the house for a week MINIMUM in order for the smell to dissipate some. Our whole home smelled like I painted every wall with nail polish, and it smelled like that for over a week. SO SO SO STRONG! My poor children! While doing it, my eyes became blood red and they stung due to the off gas of it. I couldn’t open them, they were watering non stop, and stinging like crazy! The product came with enough for two coats, but that wasn’t enough. It will probably need another one or two coats to not be transparent but I will NEVER but this again. I will look for a low or no VOC bath paint. Also, because this paint is so trying, it literally disintegrated my roller brush! By the second coat, it was falling apart and leaving little bits behind because it was disintegrating. This whole project was a wash. I wish I could give this 0 stars. It literally ruined our lives for 2 weeks because of the strong smell that would not freakin leave our home. Quality bad, color bad, smell bad ALL BAD. Do not buy this.

I bought 2 cans to resurface my guest bathroom. The first can went on perfectly! But the second can bubbled on the walls. It does smell but with a respirator it is manageable.

The Rust-Oleum Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit has completely transformed my dated bathroom at a fraction of the cost of replacement. My old bathtub was stained, discolored, and frankly embarrassing - now it looks absolutely pristine and modern in gloss white. The 2-part system is well-designed and user-friendly. The instructions are clear and comprehensive, walking you through each step from preparation to final coating. While the process requires attention to detail, it's definitely manageable for a DIY project. The 32 oz coverage was perfect for my standard-sized tub with some left over for touch-ups. Preparation is key, and the kit provides everything needed for proper surface prep. Following the instructions exactly resulted in excellent adhesion and a smooth, professional-looking finish. The etching solution worked effectively to create the right surface texture for the coating to bond properly. The finish quality is remarkable. The gloss white coating dried to a beautiful, durable surface that feels smooth to the touch and looks exactly like a factory finish. The coverage is even with no streaks, bubbles, or thin spots when applied according to directions. It's been six months since application, and the finish still looks perfect with daily use. Durability has exceeded my expectations. Regular cleaning with standard bathroom cleaners hasn't affected the finish at all. No chipping, peeling, or wear patterns despite constant use. The surface resists stains and soap scum buildup much better than the original tub surface. This kit saved me thousands compared to bathtub replacement while delivering professional-quality results. Highly recommend for anyone looking to refresh their bathroom affordably!

Takes a few coats didn’t quite get finish I wanted on the sink. But struggled with roller type. Very smelly for 3 days. But overall good product

Seguí cuidadosamente la preparación de la superficie y las instrucciones de aplicación. La primera capa parecía haber quedado bien, pero al aplicar la segunda, esta reblandeció y levantó la primera en varias zonas, dejando el acabado arrugado, disparejo y prácticamente inutilizable. El problema ocurrió antes de usar la bañera o exponerla al agua. Ahora tendré que lijar o retirar todo el recubrimiento y comenzar nuevamente, lo que implica más trabajo, tiempo y gastos. Para el precio del producto, esperaba un acabado mucho más confiable y resistente. No lo recomiendo.

Made my bathtub new again

Absolutely love this product! Actually ordered another one to add to my project! Gave me exact results i was looking for! Cost me 200$ to make my ugly bathroom completely retiled professionally!!! Porcelaine finish! Would have cost minimum 1000$ to retile plus the hassle! Took 3 hours in all for 2 coats of magic! Very impressed! and i never really take the time to review…but believe this product… and result of my reno.. deserves it! Recommend 200%

Once you mixed you must use up it isn't like normal paint learned that the expensive way.
