Again, you can see how it held up after a whole year of use in this post! Any tips on how to clean the tub from soap and grease without killing the shine after you’ve used the Rust-Oleum kit? It is used for baths at least every other night, and it has held up really well. This is our upstairs bathroom which is used as my daughter’s bathroom, as well as our guest bathroom. How well does the Rust-Oleum hold up in a bathroom that is used everyday? It has a gloss finish so I wouldn’t put it on the floor – it would be too slippery. I re-caulked once the paint had dried and it made the tub look brand new! You can see my tip for caulking like a pro HERE. Yes! It’s important to remove any/all old caulking because otherwise, the product won’t adhere properly. The directions on the box tell you exactly what you will need for the project. Yes, I used a small foam roller ( like this one) to paint the tile and tub. I probably could have stretched it but I had 2, so after I finished, I did an extra coat with the second one.

Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit FAQ How has the product held up over time, and has the paint peeled anywhere?Īfter a few years, I only have a couple little places that started chipping – and to be honest, I think it’s whatever my new housekeeper was using to clean the tub at the time, because I had never had any problems before.
