Q: Can you remove rust from a bathtub drain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely remove rust from a bathtub drain, and doing so can improve the appearance of your tub. Combine three parts baking soda with one part vinegar and mix into a paste. Apply the paste over the drain and let it sit for about an hour before rinsing with cold water. Repeat the process if some rust stains remain. If the stains return, consider installing a water softener, as ongoing issues with bathtub drain rust usually indicate hard water.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after surfaces are resurfaced or refaced?

• <div><p>Routine cleaning with light detergents, avoiding abrasives, and timely addressing chips prolong the new surface appearance.</p></div>

Q: How do you identify rust in your bathtub?

• <div><p>Rust should be pretty easy to identify in your bathtub, as it has a dark red, brownish color, and it sits on the surface of the porcelain. It usually appears around metal fixtures, like under your tub spout or shower head, and you might also find it under metal shaving cream cans or razors that you leave sitting on the tub or a shower shelf.</p></div>

Q: When should I consider replacing my bathtub?

• <div><p>Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.</p></div>
