So my wife and I just moved into a new place and we have a minor annoyance with our bathtub that I'm hoping to fix inexpensively. The tub has an extremely rough anti-slip texture on the bottom that makes taking a bath very uncomfortable. I wish it were a decal so I could just scrape it off, but it appears to be part of the glaze/surface finish itself. There's plenty of guides online about how to add anti-slip but not so much on how to remove. I'm pretty sure it's an acrylic tub, so I was thinking of getting some 120 grit sandpaper and just sanding it down. My questions are: 1. Is this a terrible idea? 2. If I do do that, I assume I'll need to apply some kind of coating afterwards? 3. Should I stop being a cheap dummy and just get some estimates for reglazing? dads friend steve fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Apr 11, 2021 |

pmchem posted:have you considered just laying down a smooth mat on top of that surface For sure, and that's probably going to be the backup plan. All our previous places have been big apartment complexes where you can't really do anything about fixtures/appliances you don't like. So I don't have a ton of experience tackling "real" projects like this, and I'm very open to being told this is way more effort than it's worth. I just like the idea of fixing the tub itself since it feels like a more permanent solution than laying down a bath mat which inevitably gets moldy and needs to be replaced every so often.
