Build a beadboard. Make your bathtub look new again by building a beadboard. This quick pick-me-up can make your bathroom appear more like a spa for you to retreat to after a long day. Go for recycled wood and decorative molding if you want to achieve a coastal, rustic feel for the season.
Pick up some paint. The cost of a new cast-iron tub can go over your desired budget, so opt for paint unless you detect some serious damage. For easy cleaning, you’ll want to use either semi-gloss or glossy paint. Then, let your imagination go wild with stencils to design a bold pattern. Feel free to change it up when you want a new look!
Reglaze and restore. Give your bath a facelift by coating the surface with a bonding agent and finishing coat. This reglazing project will work on porcelain, acrylic, and fiberglass tubs - an ideal option if you love the look and style of your old tub, but need to get rid of dirt and stains.
Cover it up with a liner. Liners are an effective way to cover up a dull bathtub. What you’ll need is a heavy-gauge plastic material, which might make your tub appear smaller but will make it shiny again. If you choose to go with a bathtub liner, be wary of getting water trapped in between. The moisture caught behind the liner can cause potential mold and mildew problems. With that being said, call your professional plumber if you need a little assistance.
