#1 Clean it and cover the holes.

When the rental turns over again, rethink the plan.

Time to tighten your belt, who knows whats coming.

I would clean to the best of your ability and also add the bars back up. Even when you’re not elderly it’s great to have something to hold onto when stepping out of a tub.

I would ask tub refinisher like Miracle Method if they will warrant work over that textured bottom because i don't know if that will work well. I have reglazed sinks and tub and the epoxy works well on cultured marble and cast iron but not sure if it will last on dirty and textured fiberglass. I might just try a second or stronger cleaner on the tub and replace handrail.

I wouldn't bother with wall paper or fancy retile for a rental but might for resale.

A very long time ago I had a bathtub reglazed but I remember I couldn't use anything abrasive to clean it. Perhaps today the process and products have improved and are more long lasting.

It looks pretty good to me. I would not reglaze. If you reglaze and your tenants use a suction mat in the bath (quite common) it will destroy the reglazing, which isn't cheap to begin with.

Some people might think it looks dated but it is in great shape and clean. I would spruce up the vanity and decorate. I would not be bothered by that shower. How about a nice stone countertop and new mirror (medicine cabinet) and light fixture?

I appreciate all of the input! I'll do some deep cleaning this week and see how it turns out : )

I think I'll put white modern looking bars back in so I don't have to fill the holes, but I may wallpaper with something fun : )

Just add the grab bars and clean it up. Don’t waste money on wallpaper.

I may wallpaper with something fun : )

Fun to you may be ugly to someone else. Go with neutral for a rental. Skip reglazing. Put a white bar there. Clean the hell out of that tub bottom.

The bathroom looks nice. I’d just clean it well, fill up holes, maybe paint. Save your money ~ it’s a rental.

I have yet to see a reglazed tub that will stand up to even regular use.

Reglazing is about a 2 month "solution". Replacing is the way to go. That's easily under $500 if you do the labor yourself and use the acrylic tubs with the snap lock wall panels.

We would not be able to do the job ourselves! We can clean and patch the holes : )

I wasn't sure about the longevity of reglazed tile or tubs, and appreciate the input.

Buy these two items:

The Pink Stuff

A power scrubber brush (with different attachments):

You can achieve great results with either one of these products - HOWEVER, when you combine them - it's less work and turns out amazing!

These photos are from using the Pink Stuff:

works on walls - do a test area + do not use an abrasive sponge:

You can use the Pink Stuff on tennis shoes, to remove grease spots, on the bottom of your pots/pans, oven, grout, etc.

Here are textured tubs - the scubber was used on this one.

This is old hair dye that stained the bottom of the bathtub. The second photo shows only part of the tub finished:

The power scrubber just makes it much easier than without it. You can also use the above scrubber on glass with the right pad (comes with it). The handle extends (I did some of my windows because it worked so well!) OR you can take the handle off which makes it easy to use in tight spaces. It comes with any different heads - I actually purchased the one that I've shown above - however, it wasn't Prime Day = the price was a bit higher! The charge lasts a long time.

I just cleaned a tub surface like that with Bon Ami and the back of a green and yellow scrubbie sponge. It was not hard. It looked like the former owner had not cleaned it in years. Gross.

@dani-m08, thank you. The transformation is amazing!

@Kendrah, gross is right! I'll try this tomorrow and if it doesn't work, I'll order the pink stuff!

Careful with gritty stuff. Looks great at first and then the dirt gets into tiny scratches.Try “Scrubbing Bubbles” foam first. Spray, stay for 10 minutes, clean off, rinse then again spray, rest, sponge, again and again letting soak in between. The foam sticks for just a bit doing its job vs a liquid. get a couple of spray cans and just a regular sponge. No gritty side. Great on tile too. Leave a can for renters with instructions. Once clean than just normal maintenance.If not work move on too more powerful. I have fixed holes with just grout (Not caulk) but it was used rarely so would want others to confirm this remedy Would not want a towel/grab bar to fall off with a tug and injure someone. You liable.

@husterd, we are going to patch the holes. My husband found some sort of kit to fill the holes and then paint them. Not sure how long the paint will last though. It is some sort of special tile paint. I've never heard of safety grab bars falling off or being pulled out of a wall, but you are right; I don't want any liability for something like that.
