I'm looking to repaint my bathtub to restore its appearance, but I'm not sure if I must use the pricey kits they sell at places like Lowe's or Home Depot, like the Rust-Oleum 1 qt. White Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit that costs around $50. Is there any affordable alternative that I can use to achieve a similar result while still doing it correctly?

Honestly, you don't have to use the kits from the store, but they might not give you the results you want. Most of these DIY kits only last about 3 to 5 years. While you might find some cheaper paint options on Amazon, just keep in mind that going cheap could lead to even more issues down the line. The kit stuff could be an okay temporary fix, but it might end up peeling sooner than expected. It could be better to save up for a professional job if you're looking for something long-lasting!
Yeah, I tried one of those kits and honestly, it didn’t work out for me either. Just ended up being a pain.
