A *good* paint, a two-part epoxy paint, but still just paint. The other option is a tub liner, which basically converts your cast-iron tub into a plastic tub with all the usual problems of a plastic tub (they're even harder to clean than a cast-iron tub). In any event, none of that's happening at this place, because I don't want to remind my landlord that I exist, because he's forgotten to raise my rent this year, so I'll just pull the shower curtain closed when company comes over :).<br /><br />- Badtux the Cheapskate PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-17438636023065235022011-08-29T10:39:19.615-07:002011-08-29T10:39:19.615-07:00I've had friends go the re-glazing route, and ...I've had friends go the re-glazing route, and had the problems return; apparently the re-glazing doesn't always work well.<br /><br />Even with ventilation out the wazoo, those chemicals can get you.
