Well, you could buy a tub liner. It's like a shell that goes in your tub and makes it look like a brand new tub! or this may be a bad idea but maybe you could use paint thinner? just let it soak and scrub a little but remember that you have to dispose of it properly, you cant just let it go down the drain. i think the best thing to do would be to go to your local home depot and ask someone for help, i'm sure they could answer you question and you can buy the correct products in the store. Good luck!I just moved into a new house and theres years of paint build up in the bath tub, how do i get rid of it?
This question baffles me, why is there paint in the bathtub at all? I am a painter and this does not even make sense. You can buy paint remover in a can, but might damage the tubs surface. Try on a small area first. You might, after removing paint, be able to have someone come in a resurface the tub. There are many companies that do this. Or, literally just get a new tub, will really be better in the long run.
I would put paint thinner over it and use a putty scraper to pry it off. Make sure to let the thinner sit a few so it can absorb some.
