Default Bathtub reno

Hi all.

Can some one please tell me if fiberglass baths can be re sprayed or re surfaced. I have an orange bath spa in perfect condition but I want to change it to a more neutral colour to suit a recent reno.

Yes. It'll need a sand or soda blast then it can be re-gel coated. Probably can't be done insitu.

but also not worth it given the cost of a new acrylic tub.

I bought a new tub today for that reason. Quoted around 500 for a reno. Paid 530 for a new one.
