Looks amazing but the recommended sponge roller disintegrates during application and the pieces are IMPOSSIBLE to completely remove. The outdated bathroom in our 50+ year old church parsonage appears to have had an expensive reno. That deserves a 5-star rating, but the rough surface that resulted from the sponge caused a 2-star deduction.

Fumes are overwhelming! PLEASE wear eye protection and an aspirator mask. Also use any and all available forms of ventilation to help evacuate the fumes.

The photos were taken after the first application. I didn't take photos of the completed job, but the difference after one application was undeniably better. For the tub, sink and surrounding tile, I used 2 kits per application. I didn't measure the area, but wish I had for the sake of this review.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. There are so many helpful reviews already on this so I will try to keep it short.

I have a fiberglass tub with porcelain tile surround. The tub and tiles were in very good shape considering they were installed in 1974. I was more than enthused to get rid of the 1974 yellow, though!

Honestly, I followed the instructions, but I wouldn't say I did to a 'T'. I did some of the cleaning out of order, ran out of lime away so crossed my fingers and used other products like comet, rubbing alcohol and bleach. I didn't sand into oblivion until the glean was gone either. Just used the recommended grit and went over the entire surface twice. That being said, I was sort of expecting to see some issues right off the bat, but I did not. The epoxy went on smoothly for the first two coats. There were a lot of tiny bubbles but that didn't bother me. Most went away after it dried just as the instructions said they would. I had to wait a few days to do the third coat because I ran out of paint and all our local stores didn't carry the product. If I end up having any issues it will be because of that. I noticed a small patch on the bottom of the tub of what others have described that looks like bigger bubbles that have sort of risen up and may peel later. We will wait and see on that since it is such a small section.

Regarding the fumes. I was very nervous about this due to what others have posted so I made sure I had a good respirator. I put the respirator on a few minutes before I opened the paint and I kid you not, I didn't smell a thing the entire time. My eyes watered a bit but only when I had the paint tray right next to my face. I kept my pets outside and had every window open and every fan on in the house. After I was finished I closed the door to the bathroom, left the vent fan and floor fan on and sealed with a towel underneath the crack of the door. After about an hour the fumes had dissipated from the rest of the house and I had no problem sleeping or being disturbed otherwise. If you ventilate well, and have a respirator, I don't see why the fumes have to be such an issue.

I am overall pleased with the results and am crossing my fingers that after a few days of curing, the majority of the finish will be smooth. Regardless, it is a huge improvement. Really brightened up an otherwise dark space.

Good luck to all you other DIYers out there!

Absolutely amazing! We'd been living with ugly baby blue tile in our bathroom for years, and we just couldn't bring ourselves to bite the bullet for a full bathroom remodel. After a lot of thought, we decided to give this Rustoleum product a try. We read as many reviews, tips, and tricks as we could and here are a few thoughts/comments: (1) Do ALL the prep work. It takes a while, but it's worth it. We did four coats on tile and tub, and it took four kits. (2) Mix the activator really well into the paint and then let it sit for 3-5 minutes. We didn't let our first batch sit and the first 5 minutes or so was like painting with water. (3) Reviewers are not overestimating the smell. Get a good respirator mask (about $30) and open all the windows. I recommend taping over any vents in the room too so the smell doesn't get pumped around the house though the vents. (4) High density foam rollers WILL isintegrate, but it's pretty slow, so just buy extra. I think we went through about 8-10. They work great. (5) This stuff sets fast, so be prepared for a few streaks here and there. You'll do more harm than good if you try to correct too quickly. (6) Be diligent with taping everything up good before painting. This stuff is HARD to get off fixtures if you mess up. Tape well, and you can avoid that problem. (7) We used a small paint pan with liners and used fresh liner and brush with every coat. (8) The sanding step (as part of prepping the surface) is with 400/600 grit paper. You'll feel like you're not even scratching the tile, but I think this step is just to ensure the tile is completely clean (not to remove the shine of the tile). We bought a cheap hand sander, cheap sand paper, and then cut squares and made sheets for the hand sander using adhesive industrial Velcro strips on the back. Worked like a charm!

We also laid new vinyl peel and stick tile over the existing flooring (TrafficMaster brand at Home Depot for $30 all in).
