DIY Shower and Tub Refinishing: How to Paint an Old Shower – Thrift Diving
Got an old shower or bathtub and looking to refinish it? In this video, I tested out the BathWorks Tub Refinishing Kit to see how it would work in my 1970’s turquoise fiberglass shower stall. Kind of a long video, but I wanted you to see the entire process that went into this DIY refinishing project. Watch the full-tutorial for detailed instructions on how to paint your shower (or bathtub) and how to get the best results. Read the blog post for more details. AD

How much did you end up using?
This was great! I appreciate your candidness, because honestly I’m a bit nervous about doing this myself. The white over the blue looks good, too!
Did you only use the one kit?
Awesome VIdeo. Thanks for doing this. I have a 6' shower with walls & floor very similar to yours. I am glad now, to see that this can be done. This will save me lots of $$.
Beautiful, quick question will this work on bathroom that has tile instead
Will this work on cultured marble surrounds?
Was the tub fiberglass?
Years later, and your neighbor would fight you for that mask with Covid floating around instead of looking at you crazy.
