Bathtub replacement or improvement

[Daniel Suarez]

I have a working condition tub that seems to be peeling (view photo) I want to avoid replacing it because it seems to be stucked to the wall so the removing part will be very hard and I was wondering if anyone had experience improving the looks of it or if there's a workaround. We tried paitning it but the peeling apeared again after a week or so. 

Thanks in advance.

Daniel, I would check out to see if there are any bathtub refinishers in your area. The professional company will come in- tape everything off and put plastic sheets all over the bathroom. Then they treat the tub with chemicals then with color coating. The entire process takes about 5-7 hrs.  We did one here in Birmingham, Al. The cost was $450. I have seen prices less in other markets. What I have read about the longevity is that if professionally done it will last between 5-15 years depending on how good the job was and how the tub is cared for by the tenant. Cleaners with bleach and or abrasives will shorten the life span.
