You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash).

Rust in your bathtub occurs when iron in the water or on metal components in your tub are exposed to oxygen, but while it’s unsightly, it won’t make bathing dangerous. However, if the rust appears under or around your tub spout or shower head, it could indicate that you have high levels of iron in your water. Drinking water with small amounts of iron in it usually doesn’t pose a health risk, but you might want to consider installing a water softener. The presence of iron could indicate that you have hard water, which can create some plumbing issues.

However, the exact waiting time can vary depending on the materials used. Some quick-dry epoxy kits may cure in as little as 12 hours, while others might have a four-hour cure time, potentially allowing for same-day use. To ensure the epoxy dries correctly, ventilate the bathroom well during the curing period. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with your reglazing professional for specific guidance on when it's safe to use the tub.
