Hey I did it today and it looks very professional… To all the other commentor, all the information are there. More than one videos were made so all the products are on for all the videos were listed. If you guys take some time to look through them you guys would have seen that…. I thank you for this video because it helped me a lot.
Worked perfectly and looks great. I was quoted $800 by two pros and the materials necessary for this project were less than $20 combined. Thanks for sharing!!
This is my second foray into tub chip repairs. Your approach is an innovative application in my opinion.The comments are informative as well.Good show!
I wasted my time with those chip repair kits in the home centers and the results are disappointing. I followed this video and it worked perfectly. Can't believe the results. Thank you DP Tubs & Home Repair.
First comment I have left on You Tube. This worked perfectly, I also loved the links to all the proper items to order on Amazon. Thank you for your help
Thanks for the demonstration, I wonder if the same way works on a tub that was actually peeled at the drain. Seems like it was painted before then patched. Now it’s damaged again. Will this method works?
I Love how you take the most horrible looking cracks, and when you're done, you'd never know they were there. Thanks for making these videos Danny...it's interesting to see how it's done. Both my tub and shower are fiberglass...it's nice to know they're repairable if they ever crack.😉
@DPTubs this is a great video, thank you. It appears that 3M/ does not make the Bondo All Purpose Putty anymore, is there a recommended other product I should get?
Wow, great call on the appliance paint, even over the bath and tile offered by the same company. I tried the bath and tile, it wasn't as fine or easy to blend. The appliance paint was super fine and easy to blend with the existing. Perfect finish. Thank you so much!
If you've seen a lot of videos, why did you only show the exact names of some of the products? Also, why didn't you show yourself putting the bondo down, just the hardener on top? If you want people to learn and make a decent video, you shouldn't skip steps and assume the people watching know what you're talking about.
@@DPTubs Yes, but for someone like me for example, I just want to repair the tub in the apartment I've just started renting, cos it looks ugly, not learn any trade. This video is extremely helpful and seems so easy, but I agree with the OP that showing every step and listing the products would really help folks like us who couldnt even contract you. Now, where on earth will I find those products in Chile? Wish me luck.
Just wondering if enamel spray paint for scale model could work... 🤔 (Just by curiosity) Can you name the putty that you are using so I know exactly what to look for?
Hi! Great video! The description mentions a lot more items than I saw you use in the video. Do you think you could maybe narrow it down a bit? I have a small chip in a bath tub I would like to try to fix. I think it's a cast-iron tub. Does this stuff work with that too?
hey man. like your vids. just starting business and have a question for you. tub needs few repairs but also needs inlay. then he wants a resurface. do i do repairs and resurface before inlay? can resurfacing be done after inlay?
Thanks so much for the video. How do you yourself color match the bathtub if it's not the standard Rustoleum appliance white? My acrylic tub seems to be an ivory/cream not the classic appliance white.
Can you put automotive 2k clear over the repair paint? What do you think? I damaged one working at customers house & want the best longest lasting result. I've done a lot of cars so i know i can make it blend out.
@@DPTubs yeah, that's what I was thinking, I would have to do a test piece. It's a biscuit or almond color & those rustoleum epoxy spray cans say that its satin finish which won't match the tub gloss well so I was thinking 2k clear... it was 2 dime sized chips on the top.
How long do you have to wait until you did the can of paint after doing the putty and sanding down? Thinking of doing this to my bathtub I have 2 small chips that I need to fix. Thank you in advance.
I would never had thought thi was possible. Thank you for sharing. I will be looking forward to your next video until then I am keeping you and your's in my thoughts and prayers please stay safe, take care and God bless!
Any suggestions on cracks on the bottom of the tub where the anti slip surface is different? When filling and sanding, looses its rocky texture so was wondering if you knew a shortcut. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your bread and butter. All those mfs who make a living by just doing this hide all their stuff and their videos is dumb af. It’s like Here’s before then after video done 😂. This will save me time and money from ripping off entire tub and retile the bathroom. Apparently my tenants been metal fabricating in my tub because there are wear marks down to metal and rust and chips everywhere it’s like they were juding metals bars while shower. But they aren’t getting that deposit back for sure
How long does it hold up with the appliance paint as far as when you clean your tub an stuff...an is the appliance paint the best option in a spray can over the krylon an rust oleum tub an tile?
for the top coat. The filler material is bondo filler. Let me know if you have any more questions. Are you trying to repair one yourself? Follow me on Instagram and you can DM me directly for help.
Question, how would you repair a cracked cast iron tub, not chipped but it has spider cracks. Do you break the surrounding porcelain or do you just fill the cracks as they are?
Would this work on a tub that has many areas (in the first third of the tub) that are peeling? Or is it more for a one or two chips rather than peeling?
Nice video on chips, I have the edge of the bath where it meets tiles from where you climb in that has a broken piece broken of, what is the best way to repair it
He use the 30 other products, just not in the video, cause the video is a marketing gimmick. But I guess there are other videos out there that are more detailed. Good to know what he used.
i tried to use Rustoleum and it came out horribly grainy. i sanded area with 1500 paper, it was very smooth, much more so then what i got after painting.
How do they hold up after a month....year etc? 1, Bondo isnt waterproof. 2 it should be primed before painted. Although this technique may look good initially, I'd be surprised if it lasted.
The Rustoleum appliance spray is $6 at Home Depot. It’s worth it to buy it...and test it out on the surface and then wipe off with lacquer thinner. If your tub is a pressed steal or cast iron then the chance of it blending is pretty high. If it’s fiberglass I would try the appliance white or Rustoleum Shell White
One issue that I have had with repairs that aren’t followed up with a full refinish is the over spray that falls on the outside of the repair when feathering the touchup paint. It gives the area right around the repaired area a rough sandpaper fell. Have u encountered this? Have u found a solution?
@@DPTubs I refinish a ton of tubs for apt complexes. One issue I have is with tenants using bath mats (which is a no no) to deal with the liability of a slick bottom tub. Do u know if a practical solution, Maybe a bathmat that doesn’t have suction cups, that can solve this problem? I have tried adding the sand grit to the bottom, but they are hard to keep clean without scrubbing(another no no)
Yes go to Amazon and search bath mat without suction cups and they are there. Machine washable too. They have air pockets. You are right the trip out isn’t ideal but I only go out if the customer pays for it. Otherwise I inform then when selling the job that there will be a halo or mist of overspray around the repair. Communication is key when dealing with customer expectations.
@@DPTubs Thanks so much. I’m always looking for ways to improve and your videos have helped me a lot. I have many more questions, but it is getting late on the east coast. Thanks again and I will be watching all your videos.
I don't get it? You don't show all of those Materials in the video??? I have a chip I need to fix, from an accident setting tile around a bathtub....you don't show using all of these materials in the list so that is confusing? Thanks in advance for any help you might offer. JJ Suprise Sandy, Utah
Hi, surveyor here and I'm interested in hearing how long did this take you, start to finish? Often have operatives suggesting they can't repair simple chips and its easier to just replace the entire bath, which I think is laziness on their part. But would be good to hear your view!
Where are you located? I have a tub with screw holes in the top of it from a mistake made in installing the shower doors on the wrong side. Please advise. Thanks
This spray is Rustoleum Appliance spray for the top coat. The filler material is bondo filler. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching

@@DPTubs is the smoothener different than the hardner you menion in the video that you mixed with the bondo?

Is the putty that you used to fill the chipped area the Bondo All Purpose Putty or the Bondo Fiberglass Resin?
Bondo All Purprose

Great tutorial, what type of bondo are you using? Thanks
Just put the name of the product down. Hearting the comment helps no one.
Is rustoliim spray or cleaner or are the the same?
Will the same filler and paint work on a cast iron tub. There are a couple of big chips just not down to the cast iron yet.
Thanks so much for the video. How do you yourself color match the bathtub if it's not the standard Rustoleum appliance white? My acrylic tub seems to be an ivory/cream not the classic appliance white.
Wow! It’s amazing what you can do. How do chips even happen?
Folks slip and bump their teeth.
My bathtub is newly reglazed. I scraped it checking my silicon caulk work with a work light. It’s 5 days old.
Can you put automotive 2k clear over the repair paint? What do you think? I damaged one working at customers house & want the best longest lasting result. I've done a lot of cars so i know i can make it blend out.
Just have to make sure the clear will not have a solvent reaction with the top coat
@@DPTubs yeah, that's what I was thinking, I would have to do a test piece. It's a biscuit or almond color & those rustoleum epoxy spray cans say that its satin finish which won't match the tub gloss well so I was thinking 2k clear... it was 2 dime sized chips on the top.

Use gorilla glue and lightly sprinkle construction sand over it they spray with a rustoleum white.

How did the paint hold up tho? I seen rust oleum dont recommended appliance paint in a bathtub?

Will this method work on a fiberglass tub
Yes..I have some other videos showing FIBERGLASS Reglazing

I will
Same here😞
Does this work for an acrylic tub?
Yes

When you fold it it also gets rid of bubbles from the product.

Do you know how to fix a small hollow in a cast-iron kitchen sink?
Is that stuff better then mixing like epoxy a and b stuff?
Yes, absolutely
Thanks!

You sound like a pro..:actually this system works great….been doing it for over 20 years!
Does the rustoleum appliance spray match great or is it worthwhile to get a paint from the tub manufacturer? Thanks!

If your tub is a pressed steal or cast iron then the chance of it blending is pretty high. If it’s fiberglass I would try the appliance white or Rustoleum Shell White

Rustoleum says on the package it’s not for bathtubs or sinks where it will get wet. Strangely it says not to use on stove where it can get above 200°.
Where are you located? I have a tub with screw holes in the top of it from a mistake made in installing the shower doors on the wrong side. Please advise. Thanks
He liked the comment but doesn’t provide the bondo used. What an insecure little boy.
Hey Danny
What if it is not metal?
You can still do Fiberglass
Is the putty a one or two part chemical? Just sand, putty and paint? That's it?
Putty comes with cream hardener
What exact product is being used please?
This spray is Rustoleum Appliance spray for the top coat. The filler material is bondo filler. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching
Why not just spray the Rust-Oleum?
Please identify the products used to repair the tub.
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED FOR THE BRAND NAMES (WE GOT THE RUSTOLEUM NAME)- THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Would this work to fix scratches in a tub? I know, how the heck did you scratch your tub. My step dad thought it was a good idea to scrub his tub with steel wool 🤦♂️
How much would you charge for something like this?
This would cost between $145-$165 almost like a minimum repair.

Just spray the whole tub
