Need to change this bathtub?

[Truly Exotic]

nice, I like those new style gap underneath vanities, it really opens up the bath room!

Looks good but it isnt cost effective. The advantage i suppose is you dont have to rip everything out but still...

I have had resurfacing quotes before and for the price you are better off starting over. For a bath only it would work out better because you dont have to pull out and install a new one which would be around 2k

What's the issue?
Looks like it just needs a good scrub.

Get some hydrochloric acid from bunnings and let it soak. Works wonders on the toilet bowl when it builds up those absolutely uncleanable brown stains (is this a QLD thing only?). I could probably do my own with a before and after if I could summon the energy

Didn't that cause an ugly mess with the bath falling through the floor in one of the first episodes of Breaking Bad?

Technically, I would be happy to do bathroom upgrade for $2-3K (new tub, retile and new vanity) if it will last a lot longer :-/ Especially if the cost $500-$800 will only last like 1-2 years.

No HCL, harsh stuff I think it'll detoriate the pipes if not already

Just a quick update.

After a lot of consideration, we opt for resurface. There are just too little time to arrange a total rip out. Due to the condition of the tub, we will need to do reno on the bathroom in 1-2 year time or so when the tub gives out

On the flip side, I have tenant starting tomorrow

This is the bath after
