Rust-Oleum 244166-6PK Tub And Tile 2-Part Touch Up Paint, White, 6 Pack

I ordered this to hide some cracking and peeling from a resurfaced tub and it was the perfect solution. The cracking was mostly over the grout lines and this filled those spaces perfectly. It was even great for small little dings and chips. I also used it on an area that was peeling on a tile and it filled in the space but you could see that it was a repaired - but only close up and not from a distance. This was a life saver from a a tub and tile surround resurfacing that didn't last as advertised (and of course the vendor went out of business). I didn't want to pay $3000 to have the tubs redone or replaced so this bought me years of additional service since the issues with the tub and tile were only cosmetic (ugly color) and not functional. My tubs were bright white and this was a perfect color match. I applied it like it was white out or nail polish. The smell is strong but just use a fan. I am extremely happy with this product!

it works, good value and shipped fast

I used this to repair two chips on a porcelain bathtub. Both were all the way through to the metal so there was rust that had to be cleaned off first. I used vinegar and salt to clean off as much of the rust as I could, then went over it with a little piece of 320 grit emery paper. Next I mixed the touch up kit and applied it with the supplied brush. The brush is small enough that you can precisely match the edges of the patch to the edges of the chip. However, it holds a surprising amount of the compound so (just like with paint) you have to be careful not to load up it up too much. The compound has approximately the same viscosity as correction fluid and I'm guessing would be difficult to use on anything other than a horizontal surface. Fortunately both of my chips were on the flat ledge surrounding the tub. After applying the compound I allowed three full days for it to cure before exposing the repairs to water. The cured product has a smooth finish, similar to the porcelain itself, although it is raised slightly above the surrounding surface. I suppose if you were really OCD you could do some wet sanding to achieve a perfectly level surface, but I didn't bother with this. So far the repairs have survived two long, hot showers and seem to be holding up well. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is that the color match is not perfect; the compound is somewhat whiter than standard bathtub porcelain. But unless you look closely, it does not jump out at you. Once mixed, the compound must be used within 24 hours, so make sure you identify all needed repairs before beginning.

I had a bathtub that had a lot of wear on it, and my landlord was able to repaint it and make it look nicer. Unfortunately minor cracks would pop up after 6-9 months, and as a preventative measure I picked up this kit to patch those up. It seems to do the trick and covers up the cracked spots well, preventing further splitting. The color is fairly close though I don't really mind that as much as I'm renting and the bathtub isn't perfect to begin with. The paint definitely smells so I would recommend running an air purifier in the bathroom for about 24 hours after application. The only downside is that it totally dries up after about 24-36 hours so you only get a few applications.

I am mostly disappointed with this product. I had hoped to be able to refinish a standard bathtub but after one coat, there was no way this would work. I ended up getting six more to put enough finish on the tub to make it look new. I am not wild about the texture either. I used a foam roller to try and get the smoothest finish possible, but there is some orange-peel going on that is fine if its clean and you don't look too close at it. Zep drain cleaner dissolved the finish too. That was unexpected. Look I get it. I have a 70 year old tub in a 140 year old house and the bathroom is due for a renovation, but until I am ready, I am going to limp it along with drain cleaner. The rust spots in the tub were annoying and one of them was bad enough to cause enamel to chip off. That area got treated with Bondo then the whole tub was refinished. For a hot minute it looked great, but it does NOT clean like enamel. You need to be careful.

As everybody says, it’s bright white which wasn’t a true match, but since most of the areas I wanted to cover were small head-of-a-pin-sized holes it filled the holes neatly and they become invisible unless you know exactly where to look. The directions say to recoat after 10 minutes — I found that was too soon and got better results after 20 minutes. I found the brush in the cap too big for my use — wanted to just fill the dings, not coat the area around them — and found a toothpick was a much better, more precise application tool. It is also very runny immediately after mixing, which is fine for flat, horizontal surfaces. I had a few vertical surfaces and got better results when I’d let the paint sit for 15+ hours, with very little running because the paint thickens the longer it sits after mixing. By 24 hrs it was very thick and time to throw out what wasn’t used. An inexpensive solution that worked great.

First of all, the epoxy is less resilient than the Rust-Oleum appliance touch up, which does not have to be mixed and can be used for months, not within 24 hours. The appliance touch up is also a darker white, which matches way better. This stuff is super bright white. It stuck out like a sore thumb even on my super bright white bathtub. Cannot recommend.

This product worked well to cover up the area around my drain that was starting to rust. you can tell that the area has the paint on it but it looks 10x better then it did before. It will not make your tube look like new but is defiantly worth a try if you are just trying to fix a small issue. My only suggestion is to make sure you not only clean the area but to sand the rust areas really good before applying if that is the issue for you. i thought i had gotten all the rust off from one area but did not and now the rust is showing through the white paint so i will need to remove the paint and fix the rust issue then redo it.
