We recently used some drain cleaner to unclog the drain and now I can see erosion of the cement in the sink basin and drips of water leaking through the cement on the underside of the slink. Is there any product I can use to reveal this old tub?

It will be cheaper to smack that into chunks and buy a new tub. __________________ New members: Adding your location to your profile helps in many ways.--M--
