Bath Re-Glazer and Pre-War Peach
I have a wonderfully teeny bathtub that would be impossible (well difficult) to replace, new... I need to reglaze... my questions are: 1. Recommendations? and 2. Has anyone ever glazed over a pre-war peach tub w/ white? and lastly
3. I am considering reglazing the peach tiles white and /or painting them myself (I'm a faux finisher). I've only seen this done poorly... anyone seen well poainted tiles?
Thanks so much!

reglazing is generally a spray acrylic job that lasts maybe 2 years ..it is kind of a shitty option..good luck

I have a cast-iron claw foot tub that needs refinishing....if reglazing is so bad, what's another option?

The process I thought of doing by hand on my bathroom tiles but decide was too labor intensive would be too rough up the tiles w/ 220 grit sandpaper , apply white XIM with a silk bob then apply 3 coats of alkyd enamel w/ a ox hair brush, wet sanding as needed b/w coat. But life is too short.
In terms of the tub is there a difference b/w reglazing and re-finishing

We reglazed a white tub with Melga here in Brooklyn, and they did a great job. The tub is in a second bath that doesn't get used every day, and it still looks fine after three years.

Buttermilk channel - can you give me a sense of what this cost?

It was approx $350, and they were easy to deal with.

Any thoughts on painting bathroom tile? Anyone ventured into that terrain using oil based paints and or a professional re-glazer?
