Magic Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit - Spray on Aerosol - Refinish Sinks Tile Porcelain Acrylic Fiberglass and Ceramic Surfaces, Bright White, 12 Ounce (Pack of 2)

I did the bottom of my fiberglass 5-foot tub which had three cracks I had repaired with epoxy.These repair spots were certainly going to give a potential buyer of my house a negative feeling.(Whether people consciously see defects or not, they see them subconsciously.)I put 4 coats on the bottom of the tub (2 would have been fine), using up one of the two cans. IT LOOKS GREAT! SHINY! AWESOME!Follow the directions! Clean it well. Spray it on at a high room temperature so when the coatings cool they are in compression (as opposed to applying cool, causing the coatings to expand and crack when the room gets warm). I am allowing it to cure at a high room temperature for the recommended 72-hours.I did not rate Durability, but with the excellent-and-easy spraying and the awesome shiny coating, I am fairly confident that it will last.

This stuff works great! Redid my bath tub and it looks perfect! It's been a couple months and is holding uo well. Please use a mask or very good ventilation.

I am not a stupid woman. I read and research before I throw myself head first into projects I have limited experience doing. Bob Villa’s website has an article titled “the best tub refinishing kits of 2023“ and the author listed the Magic tub kit as #4- “most user-friendly”.I just spent 13 hours removing caulk, cleaning as per included directions, and putting three coats of this product on my tub/surround. The cans sputter and drip before they’re even half empty. There are droplets all over the surface that cannot be corrected. I laughed and kept going when this first happened because what else can you do? The fumes are beyond noxious- even with the bathroom window open and fan directing the fumes out. The spray is a fine mist that gets everywhere and creates a cloud that you can barely see through. By the time I made it through the fourth can I was actively cursing Bob Villa’s name and his ridiculous website. This stuff is dust and will cover you, your house, and your lungs- regardless of whether or not you’re wearing an n95 mask.Update: The only thing “Magic” about this product is how it’s ever gotten more than 1 star. It took 4 cans of Goof Off professional strength spray to remove it from my surround/tub. That stuff could be called magic and I highly recommend it for the poor souls that ignored the reviews and tried to use the magic tub and tile spray. I then re-cleaned and re-sanded the tub and surround and applied Rustoleum’s tub and tile refinisher (it’s a kit that contains a 2 part epoxy that you can roll or brush on). It’s just as noxious and labor intensive but you can actually achieve great results!All in all, this was a horrific experience thanks to the Magic tub kit- save yourself the trip to hell and skip straight to the rustoleum product.

I just moved into an apartment a month ago with VERY questionable maintenance staff. I wish I'd known that prior to the move, but of course they won't tell you they half-ss everything.Two weeks after I moved in the VERY poorly done tub re-coat they had done started to peel up in sheets. 2 foot long chunks were coming off in my hand, and I was leaving the shower with paint chips stuck to my body. Management's solution was "Don't worry about it, we redo it after every tennant. But I guess if it bothers you we can have someone spray on another coat."Aaaaand there we have it. They didn't prep, probably didn't even clean, just "sprayed on another coat".Obviously I would get the same results if they did it, so I bought this kit to give a try myself. Because it's a rental and because I don't plan to stay here long (for obvious reasons), I didn't want to spend much. I wasn't looking for perfect results, just something that looks acceptable and doesn't peel.I'm moderately handy with small household repairs and projects. I'm very far from a pro, but I can do basic things well, I usually know the proper tools and methods to use and I get good results. Not always perfect, but looking good and working right. I can't build or remodel, but I can fix things well enough. Just to give some background on the "type" of person giving this review - not a pro, but not a total novice.I was impressed by the directions and think a total novice COULD use this kit, though. It very clearly tells you what you need, what things are necessary and which are optional, and gives easy to follow step by step instructions.The process could be done by anyone with basic use of their hands and minimal strength and the ability to bend and squat. The prep is time consuming but not physically difficult. You basically remove any peeling coating, clean, sand, clean with TSP, wipe, spray.FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY. Use TSP cleaner. Your "regular" household cleaner IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. If you prep properly, you'll get good results that last.You NEED good ventilation and at very least an N95 mask. The fumes are strong during application but quickly dissipate to just the smell of fresh paint as the product dries. Cover ANYTHING you don't want mist on. That's really my only complaint with this product, is there is a lot of mist/overspray.The 2 cans in the kit covered a VERY crappy looking tub well. If you want to do a surround as well you'll probably need another kit.I can't comment on durability - I won't be in this apartment long enough to tell how it lasts. But I'm happy with how it turned out. I've included pictures of the extent of the peeling I was dealing with, and the finished tub.If I wanted to do it absolutely perfectly, and not at all see where the old paint was, I'd have wet sanded the whole darn thing and started from zero. It is not my property, I shouldn't have had to do this anyway, "good enough" is good enough. I'm very happy with the results. The coating covered well and you have to REALLY look to see where the old, peeled paint was. If you took the time to remove all old coating, you'd get excellent results.This was a good, easy fix for someone else's problem. Just remember to DO THE PREP and you'll be fine.

The only thing I didn't like about this was the smell. Good product but don't know the longevity of it, which is why I'm glad there are 2 cans. It was only needed on the bottom of the tub where the surface rust was starting to show. After I applied this, I put down a large vinyl self-stick non-slip mat to insure extended success.
