I have a few bathroom remodeling questions?
I hate my bathroom. I have a blue toilet, bath tub and sink. I dont have a ton of money to replace everything so i wanted to paint the tub, sink, and vanity and i was going to replace the toilet and the fake wood floor with tile. My question is is it possible to paint the tub and sink from blue to white and will it last?
There are companies that will "re-bath" tubs. There is a way to put a simple white liner type of application on the tub, that will cover all the blue and make the tub look new - at about 1/4 of the price of replacing it. Check around on Craigslist in your area for bath remodelers and get different estimates. Don't paint it, it never works right.
OK, for the floor, you can probably get it done for about 5-6 dollars a sq foot including material. What else did you want? Oh, the vanity... well, you can actually get a new vanity and sink at either HD or Lowes fairly inexpensive and they can install it for you. The entire thing shouldn't cost more than 1500 dollars, which compared to the 12-15,000 to have a full remodel is a total bargain.

Lowes makes a refinsihing kit. Some of my friends did it. It stinks to high heaven and is hard to do. They did it, but said they would not do it again. It does not look too good. Not smooth. It has brush stokes and does not clean very well.
