How To: Refinish a Tub, Sink or Tile

Is your 1950’s mauve tub clashing with the latest home décor trends? Or, is your white porcelain sink badly stained and discolored? Rather than incurring the hassle and cost of replacing costly bathroom fixtures (not to mention the mess it creates), you can refinish them yourself to a bright white finish that will last for years.

Tough as Tile™ finish is a durable, long lasting coating that is formulated as a "One-Part Epoxy", requiring no mixing of a base resin and hardener like traditional epoxies.

Available in both a brush-on and spray-on formula, these products are an economical alternative to replacing tired old fixtures. Tough as Tile™ can be used on porcelain, glazed ceramic tile and fiberglass.

1. Preparation is key to a successful finish. Take care to read instructions thoroughly before you begin.


2. Determine the Tough as Tile™ product best suited for your project.
