kind of a spin off from the cleaning one. We have an older house that has been flipped. But after being here over a year we have found little things that they not really cut corners on, but too the cheap way out. And one of those things is our tub. It looks as if they just took some sort of paint and rolled it on with a roller to make it look new and clean, but now its chipping off in big chunks, and water is getting between the paint and the tub. I think it is a cast iron tub? but I'm not sure. It doesnt seem like the fiberglass tubs that you see now, it seems more...sturdy?
I am thinking we should just repair it, but I'm not 100% sure how! I am wanting to save up and get us a new tub in the future anyways, because this one is very shallow, and not that grand for long hot relaxing baths! So I want a soaking tub or a jacuzzi tub! But this tub is rather short, so I dont know how easy it will be to find one that fits, or if we will have to special order one.
So what can we do to fix the problem now? Is there a special paint or something we can use to repaint the tub? Or just remove all the paint that is currently on it? Hopefully someone has an idea because we are kind of dumbfounded. I have never heard of someone painting a tub...
