Has anyone re-surfaced/ re-glazed a bathtub suround?
After moving a nice doublewide manufactured home (1999) from seattle (no hard water) to tri-cities desert (lotsa hard water) after one year of tenants that may not have cleaned the tub surround, the tub went from an almond color to a reddish color. Scrubbing does nothing for it. It does not appear to be mildew, just hard water? This is a plastic tub, the surround is much worse than the tub. We need to find an affordable fix. re-surface kit from homedepot? Slide in new tub over? Obviously, its not the hilton. Nor is it a ancient single wide. My tenants go for "clean" not "fancy" The other bathtub in the house has only slight discoloration, and is a soaker (bigger) tub. Please no discouraging comments on it being a mf home, or moving homes. I know my niche(to an extent!), and am learning stuff all the time. :-) Thanks for your help! It is a rental, but we may sell via payments, or bank loan, which it does qualify for.
