@renoguy25 7 лет назад

Good afternoon TD , I should start with this is the first one of you videos I've seen , and I've been doing Home Renos for over 25 yrs . And for all the different things I've done over the years , the one thing that is the most common thing on the list of how/what to do , bar none , is ...prep work ... and just when you think you've done enough ....do more ( this especially true for DIYer's ) So good to see you made that point clear. I also think that fact that your wore a respirator instead of the little mask you said they sent you . It's really tough to stay focused and patient doing that kind of job , with a pounding headache . And when it came time to actually paint , I don't understand why you bagged up the whole shower head and hose , vs just removing it . I'll bet it was in your way and also cast shadows on your work . But I also have to question you when you say that it will cost you $ 6000 to have your shower replaced . For 6 grand , you better be getting the entire bathroom redone . And that would be with a nicely tiled shower and a good quality valve and shower head , New toilet , vanity and sink/taps lite fix etc. So to imply that you're saving 6 grand by doing your own shower , I think is a very misleading statement . Plus what did the plumber and new taps cost ? My comment is not intended to be negative , but merrily a statement . I'd also like to have seen some close up views of how the shower actually turned out . As I clicked on your video because I'm always watching for different products and how they work . But however things worked out , I happy that you , are happy . And really , that's all that really matters . Thanks

@ThriftDiving 6 лет назад

Glad I could help you, Jessica! Congrats on finding an awesome foreclosure. I'm sure after you fix it up you'll be adding lots of value on top of the already great deal you probably got when you bought it. Just make sure you follow the instructions for Bathworks exactly and put most of your time in the prep work, and you should have great results. :)

@poppyshoessp 7 лет назад

I've been nervously researching this project for six months. I'm a DIY'er myself, you actually gave me a little courage to go for it. This product seems like the only one on the market with primer.(correct me if I'm wrong) As my dad the painter says...don't paint anything without proper prep work. Thank also for showing mishaps. It happens. SUBSCRIBED! 😉

@ThriftDiving 7 лет назад

Wow, six months! Sounds like you are just as skeptical as I was about whether it can actually work. :) I agree with your dad: it really is all about the prep work. I spent a lot of time on it just to make sure there was no problem with adhesion. Don't gloss over that part, for sure. Yes, this has a primer. It was like a little bottle of liquid primer. Hopefully it helps adhesion! :)

@poppyshoessp 7 лет назад

Thrift Diving I purchased this kit and its literally sitting in my basement. Would you give a six month update please. My husband says he's going to call the professionals to come do it. I do not want to give them $700 for this.( I'm very frugal) I don't know why I'm this hesitant. I built a freaking bar ALONE in my basement.

You'll love how it turns out! Just take time to prep properly and it will turn out. It's been years now and it still looks good. No problems with peeling or chipping. There are 2 small chips near the drain which I think is due to putting a metal drain catcher there. But that was a couple years ago. No other chips. I would do this project again in a heartbeat. Good luck!!

Hey there, Cindy! You won't be able to find it on the shelves at Home Depot. You can only order it online at either of these places. Purchase on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/2mPSoUq Purchase on Bath-Works.net: www.bathtubrefinishingkit.net/ This kit uses a hardened resin that holds up longer than Rustoleum, which is what you'd find at Home Depot. But just order it online and get 2 kits just to be sure you have enough product. Good luck! :)
