    my suggestion = flip the property and move on to the next deal.

    I offer $500 - $1000 on rehab homes. It depends on the market and how good the deal is.

    This should be in the rehab forum.

    It would be a lot of work to strip the top coat, as is necessary in order to stain. I would recommend that you paint them...you can paint them a Cherry color or a white color. You will need to use a good primer, one that is designed to stick to shiny surfaces.

    Just remember...what you do not like, some one else might. I would really think this trough before you invest a lot of energy and money.[ Edited by jasons on Date 02/28/2006 ]

    I had mine done in white about 2 years ago. The painter I had put plastic sheeting around the kitchen to close off the other rooms, and used a sprayer on the cabinets. The finish on them dried hard like they had been manufactured like that, and there is no chips to this day. They have a very smooth finish, and easy to wipe off. I did change the handles and hinges to a chrome, and they look great.

    White cabinets, granite counter tops, pull out faucet for kitchen sink, and wood floors. That about sums up every kitchen that I do. ohh... and new hinges and pulls for all drawers and cabinets. It is amazing the difference it makes. Just looks clean and fresh.

    If you have rust - try Whink Rust and Stain Remover. We use it all the time. HTH

  • tom7w27th June, 2006

    I have the same problem here. lol!!
    I google and see Ace hardware carries Whink Rust and Duro Naval Jelly.... What do you do after removing the rust?
    What kind of paint to use to prevent the recurrence of rust?

    If a cast iron tub is rusting on the inside it’s because the porcelain is worn through. It must be re-porcelained. No matter how much you clean you will not get back to white because the Porcelain is gone. This is a process best left to professionals.

    The rust Olean process will work on the outside of the tub but don’t try it on the inside.

    We did find a primer once (years ago) which would stick to the porcelain and then you could paint the tub. It didn’t last that well—only 3 or 4 years-- but it was a rental property so we’d just re-treat the tub when it got too nasty. But I wouldn’t do it on a property I was planning to sell.

    The rust on our tub was actually from some metal tools that had been left in the tub by the previous occupants. I tried Barkeepers Friend which has oxalic acid in it (I think Zud does too) and it worked great to get the rust out. There is one small spot that is a bare spot (no enamel left) so we still have to deal with that. Sometimes I think it would have been worth the hassle to remove the doorway and drag the whole thing out!

    Get the tub refinished next time. It is 2-300 out west and well worth it for the shine and pizzaz it gives the bathroom.
