Here’s a question from our 08/10/2019 Today’s Homeowner Radio Show.

Carmen in New Hampshire says, “I have a bathtub drain that has mold and rust in the sealant. I have tried everything I can think of to clean it such as bleach, peroxide, and Lime-A-Way. Nothing has worked and I am embarrassed because it appears that I haven’t cleaned the tub. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.”

We tell Carmen the drain/tub can likely be repaired rather than replaced. She should remove the drain stopper, sand the rust, prime and paint before putting the stopper back.

Listen above for the segment!
