    Good afternoon TD , I should start with this is the first one of you videos I've seen , and I've been doing Home Renos for over 25 yrs .
    And for all the different things I've done over the years , the one thing that is the most common thing on the list of how/what to do , bar none , is ...prep work ... and just when you think you've done enough ....do more ( this especially true for DIYer's )
    So good to see you made that point clear. I also think that fact that your wore a respirator instead of the little mask you said they sent you . It's really tough to stay focused and patient doing that kind of job , with a pounding headache .
    And when it came time to actually paint , I don't understand why you bagged up the whole shower head and hose , vs just removing it . I'll bet it was in your way and also cast shadows on your work .
    But I also have to question you when you say that it will cost you $ 6000 to have your shower replaced .
    For 6 grand , you better be getting the entire bathroom redone . And that would be with a nicely tiled shower and a good quality valve and shower head , New toilet , vanity and sink/taps lite fix etc.
    So to imply that you're saving 6 grand by doing your own shower , I think is a very misleading statement .
    Plus what did the plumber and new taps cost ?
    My comment is not intended to be negative , but merrily a statement .
    I'd also like to have seen some close up views of how the shower actually turned out .
    As I clicked on your video because I'm always watching for different products and how they work .
    But however things worked out , I happy that you , are happy . And really , that's all that really matters .
    Thanks

I'm sure after you fix it up you'll be adding lots of value on top of the already great deal you probably got when you bought it. Just make sure you follow the instructions for Bathworks exactly and put most of your time in the prep work, and you should have great results. :)

      You'll love how it turns out! Just take time to prep properly and it will turn out. It's been years now and it still looks good. No problems with peeling or chipping. There are 2 small chips near the drain which I think is due to putting a metal drain catcher there. But that was a couple years ago. No other chips. I would do this project again in a heartbeat. Good luck!!

    I've been nervously researching this project for six months. I'm a DIY'er myself, you actually gave me a little courage to go for it. This product seems like the only one on the market with primer.(correct me if I'm wrong) As my dad the painter says...don't paint anything without proper prep work. Thank also for showing mishaps. It happens.
    SUBSCRIBED! 😉

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  7 років тому

      Wow, six months! Sounds like you are just as skeptical as I was about whether it can actually work. :) I agree with your dad: it really is all about the prep work. I spent a lot of time on it just to make sure there was no problem with adhesion. Don't gloss over that part, for sure. Yes, this has a primer. It was like a little bottle of liquid primer. Hopefully it helps adhesion! :)

      Hey there, Cindy! You won't be able to find it on the shelves at Home Depot. You can only order it online at either of these places.
      Purchase on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/2mPSoUq
      Purchase on Bath-Works.net: www.bathtubrefinishingkit.net/
      This kit uses a hardened resin that holds up longer than Rustoleum, which is what you'd find at Home Depot. But just order it online and get 2 kits just to be sure you have enough product. Good luck! :)

Mine has two walls of some kind of sheeting glued to the wall with soap dishes in the corner. I bought valspar bonding extreme adhesion and then plan to paint over it because of so many fails I read of your chosen product. Is it still holding up ok? I love the meticulousness and dedicated approach you demo, and I thank you for your style and inspiration as well as savvy. Blessings! And thanx to commenters as well.

      THANX since then this old house with slanted floors are starting to slant more and more so I am concerned about investing any more time or money on repairs. At 81 with a grandma who lived to be 100, I am hoping the house outlives me, it is circa 1950.@@ThriftDiving

    You do such great projects🤗 i really want to try thia rather than removing all the tile, to much dust dirt and up and down the stairs cutting tile etc.... this looks so much neater and easier. I want to do the floors

    • @ThriftDiving

      Yeah, give it a try, for sure! It can't hurt. I look at it this way: if I try a product and it doesn't work, as long as it doesn't make things more expensive to fix, then it can't hurt to try. The worse thing that can happen is that you end up just getting a new shower anyhow. :) But this has held up nicely!

    I would love to know how the shower is holding up now that time has gone by?

      Hey, Sher! The tub is holding up well! Here's what I've been telling the folks who are looking for an update: I did a follow-up video here (ua-cam.com/video/WRZAmHNjvEk/v-deo.html) where you can see what it looked like 10 months later. But since THAT video, it's been an additional 9 or 10 months and it still looks the same. I still have to fix the small chip at the drain, but aside from that, it's holding up as promised. I am going to do another video on how to clean it and I'll show you how I fix the small chip. But aside from that, it still looks good. It's not peeling!

    My father in law refinishes showers and tubs. He did my mother in laws shower in a
    Gray color. Cause that's what she wanted. He used a spray gun and it turned out great. It's still looks great 2 years later.

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  6 років тому

    I like that you used an actual hard to get into and odd designed shower stall. So many videos use pristine flat wall surfaces with no obstacles and this is never the case in real life. Same question as Hellcat, the video is stamped March of 2017, how does it look after five years (if you still live there)?

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  Рік тому

    Love tour channel! I really enjoy doing DIYs and dare I say it I’m better at handling a power tool than my other half but with kids aged 5 months and 3yrs its kind of hard to find the time. added with the fact that we live in a tiny house in England which means any little project takes up so much space, we have nowhere to escape 😩
    Alright, I’ll carry on binging on your videos now

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  7 років тому +1

      Hey there in England! :) I know what you mean--having kids and other responsibilities, but little space makes it challenging for sure! Do you have a backyard or patio to work on projects?

    • @SwahiliSpicE
      @SwahiliSpicE 7 років тому

      Thrift Diving yes we have a garden and a lot of nosy neighbours. Don’t know about you guys but I live in a terraced house and we share walls with our neighbours. I guess I just need to pretend no-one can see me, lol

  • @unoriginalusernameb

    You should try using bar keepers friend to clean stuff. It works pretty well but it drys out skin. It’s almost too strong. We use it to clean bathtubs, bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks (ceramic sinks) (to get the scratch/scuff marks from the pots and pans off) and a lot of other stuff. I’m saying this because it reminds me of that comet stuff you used. (Same packaging)

    nice video thank you. My concern is the final look. Is it shinny when finished, or does it looked painted. Does it shine as a car or fridge shines? Or the look of a painted door?

  • @MonsieurWeinberg

    Great demo! Wonderful idea. However, I would like to know about care of the painted surface. Once the job is done, how long will it continue to look good, and how can it be cleaned without damaging the painted surface?

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  6 років тому

      Hey there! I did this project in early 2017 and it's been a year and a half now and it still looks good. I am going to do an update on it very soon! If you subscribe to my channel and hit the little bell to be notified, you won't miss it when I do the update. :) I think as long as I take care of it, it will look good. I clean it with the recommend stuff, such as scrubbing bubbles, and just wipe off the dirt and soap scum. You can't use things like Comet or anything that is abrasive. :)
