Quick Fix for Tired FixturesBy Roy Berendsohn
Now, don't get us wrong. We're not recommending this epoxy-acrylic paint for most bathroom remodeling jobs. We think that when a fixture has seen better days, you're better off simply replacing it. But there are times when a down-and-dirty repair isn't such a bad idea: the tiny upstairs bath that sees hardly any use except when company comes, or the sink in a vacation home. Sometimes, all you want to do is spend a couple of hours sprucing things up to make them a bit easier to live withuntil you can do the job right. Enter this coating kit from Rust-Oleum. For $20 you get a refinishing material that dries to the touch within four hours or so. A bathtub refinished with the kit will be ready for use within three days, says Rust-Oleum, the product's manufacturer. Other uses include refinishing old porcelain doorknobs that would otherwise have to be replaced through a specialty antique hardware supplier and refinishing ceramic wall tile. The coating is available in three colors: white, biscuit, and almond. One kit is enough to do a small sink. It's sold at hardware stores and home centers.
