Hi @louv,

Our members and resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts will be keen to assist.

The key information our community will need to confirm whether your approach is appropriate is what your bath is made from. For example, is it steel, acrylic or fibreglass?

Some photos might also assist members to see its condition.

Thanks,

Jason

Hello @louv

The steps you've lined up are ideal, but we'll definitely have to see what type of bath you have. A quick way to test it is to grab a fridge magnet and see if it sticks to the walls of your bath. That will automatically tell you've got a steel bath which means that the Rust-Oleum 946ml White Gloss Tub And Tile Refinishing Kit will work on your bath. But if the magnet falls and does not stick to your bath it is an acrylic bath, and the refinishing kit will not work with your bath.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
