Brittany, a DIY and home accessories expert, shared the makeover with her TikTok followers.
“My first video was about the bathroom and so many people gave me great suggestions on what to do next, including recommending that I spray paint the tub trim,” she said.
She decided to do just that with some paint that cost less than $13: “The bathtub panel is currently Smoker’s Lung Yellow, so I’m going to spray paint it white,” she said.
To protect the areas around the tub, she taped plastic sheeting around the top, walls, and floor.
Before spraying, she also filled in the cracks in the bathtub with caulk and let it dry.
Although it was difficult to get an even coat of spray paint on the tub, when there were enough coats, the results were satisfactory.
“Thanks to everyone who suggested this because it looks a million times better!” she said.
People used the comments to share their opinion on the livery.
“Holy crap, such a simple and small change made a HUGE difference!” said one shocked commenter.
“It looks a lot better, good job!” agreed another.
Some even thought that with all the new changes, the bathroom looked like it had just been built.
“Looks new!!!” praised a viewer.
