UGLY BATHTUB: Bath Fitter, Miracle Method, or replace tub?
There are old discussion threads on this, but wanted a fresh perspective with a new thread.
There is a dusty rose colored tub from the '60s that was painted white with a DIY kit; the paint is peeling away. I have distilled what I should do down to three choices. What would you do?
1) Bath Fitter. I've seen the results of this and confirm it looks good and is a quality job. You'd never know the original tub is under it all. My buddy had it done in his residence. Total cost ~$3000! That seems way high and might a well just replace the tub in this case.
2) Miracle Method. Seems to be a way to paint / reglaze tubs in a professional way. They claim it will last 20 years, but is this hype? Total cost is probably going to be somewhere between $500 - 1800 depending on if the surround is "miracled" too.

3) Replace old tub, put in new one. Not sure about costs though. But that dusty rose tub will be history. But overkill and just unnecessary with a rental??
If there are other courses of action, let me know.
