If you have a fiberglass shower and want to redecorate your bathroom, don't despair! You can change the fixtures and color of your shower without spending a lot of time or money on the project. Begin by removing the fixtures and sanding off the top layer of paint or glaze on your shower tub. Don't sand too hard. Once you see a "film" on the surface, that's enough. Next, remove the dust with a mild detergent and a scrubbing brush. Don't be afraid to put the pressure on here. To be one hundred percent sure that the surface is ready, apply some diluted muriatic acid. Buy the acid in a powder form, and mix it in a plastic bucket. Add twenty parts water to one part acid, pouring the water in first so that it doesn't splash the acid. Make sure you wear protective clothing: pants, long sleeves, gloves, and goggles. Apply the acid with a sponge mop. Rinse the shower immediately with a lot of water. When the surface is dust-free and ready to go, spray or paint on some fiberglass primer. Do two thin, even coats, waiting thirty minutes between each application. Now you're ready to paint! Choose any color you want. Have fun with it! Bright colors tend to make a small area seem larger. As with the primer, use a spray can or paint brush to apply the paint. Do two to four even coats. Keep them thin to inhibit dripping. This time, wait one hour between each coat. After the paint has dried, seal it with two coats of spray sealant. Wait thirty minutes between each one. Now you can replace the fixtures. Purchase new ones in the style you desire. Usually, they will fit in the spot of the old fixtures without any problem. If want to make some drastic changes to the plumbing, you'll need the assistance of a professional. If you have the money, replace the fixtures on your sink and cupboards as well so that everything matches. Finally, add the finishing touches to your bathroom with wall decals. These won't bubble in a moist room like wallpaper will, and they're easy to put on and take off. Plus, they won't damage the paint. Place the decal flat against the wall, and smooth it from the center out to prevent wrinkles. With a newly painted shower, stylish fixtures, and trendy decals, your bathroom will be instantly transformed.
