We have about 100 discolored nonslip pads in our tub that have withstood deep cleaning (including a power washer) and cannot be taken off with a razor b/c they are glazed into the porcelain. I was able to get one off with a piece of sandpaper with a lot of effort. It would take months for me to do all of the dots individually so i am wondering if there would be any problem with me taking a rotary sander to the bottom of my tub. Any thoughts from tub pros? |

If you do (wich I don't recommend) start with a fine grit like 600 then 400 etc.
I understand the problem and think ther's an alternative.
If it's a nice old tub you'd like to keep athen consider glazing it.

Why don't you recommend it? Can I damage the tub or create a leak? I've thought about reglazing, but given the cost ($200-300) I figured I'd try this and if it didn't work I'd get it reglazed. |

Again, you need to consider the tub. If it's nice I wouldn't reglaze it. If it's not an issue knock yourself out.
Sanding the tub is a delicate procedure and can leave a course swrilled finish.
