Painting a bathroom tub is a project that can have many legal ramifications depending on the state you live in. In this blog article, I will explain what it takes to paint your own bathtub and the legal issues that come up along the way.

What are the Legalities of Painted Bathroom Tubs?

Painting a bathroom tub can be a fun DIY project, but before you get started be sure to check with your local building codes. Painted bathtubs are not typically allowed in most buildings, and could result in fines or even legal action. Here are the basics of painting a bathroom tub:

-First, consult your local building code to see if painted bathtubs are allowed. In most cases, painted bathtubs are not allowed in residential buildings.
-If the tub is not part of the exterior façade of the building, you may be able to paint it without getting prior approval from the municipality. However, this is not always the case and you may want to contact your municipality before beginning any painting project to make sure.
-If the tub is part of the exterior façade, you will need to get written permission from your municipality before painting it. This permission will likely include specific instructions on how to paint the tub and what colors are allowed.
-Once you have obtained written permission from your municipality, you can begin painting the tub according to their specifications. You will want to use durable paint that will resist wear and tear, and avoid using any bright or colorful paints that may give the tub an off-putting appearance.
-You will also want to avoid using linseed oil or special paints that contain it, as they could leave a visual or odor mark on the tub, causing your building to have an unsightly appearance.
-Lastly, you can have the tub repaired if it is damaged during your painting project, just be sure to let your municipality know you are doing so.
