   Ken,

   I know for sure that there is a product on the market for just such an occassion. However, I have not used it but have heard that it holds up quite well. It may not look new (you'll notice the touch-up) but it'll save you from replacing the tub. Try your local hardware store or plumbing supply.

   *Kenneth, Check your yellow pages or ask around with your local plumbing shops as to someone doing repair. There is a fellow around here who does repair on old porcelain fixtures and they usually turn out looking like new. He just finished a sink that was probably 60 years old and it looks great. Check under bathtub ,sink repair and refinishing. Walk good. david

   *Ken, there are a number of DIY products you could use. But, first contact the tub manufacturer. Often they will have a repair kit that will be an exact match for the tub color. All white is not the same. Americast, for instance, is made by American Standard and their white is definitely not the same as the generic white off the shelf repair kit. Been there, done that. Good luck.

   I wish to relocate the laundry room on the second floor. Does anyone know of a utility basin (like a shower stall, +/- 3' x. 6') that I can use on the floor and connect a floor drain to? I want to have the benefit of an integral curb/base for overflow protection. Also, does anyone have a good threshold detail for the laundry doors as well?

   In the midst of tearing out tub surround to revile, a hammer was dropped on the tub and caused about a half-dollar sized chip in the porcelain. Is there any way to repair this short of a new tub? I need Help!
