Q&A for How to Remove Paint from an Acrylic Tub or Bath

Since acrylic can scratch easily, be sure to use a soft sponge or rag when you clean your tub and shower. Use a mild dish soap solution or a vinegar and water solution to clean acrylic. Wet your sponge or rag in your cleaning solution apply it to your tub and shower surfaces. After scrubbing your tub and shower, thoroughly rinse it down with a removable shower nozzle or a large cup of water.

Fill up your tub with hot water and add 2 cups of vinegar. Let the vinegar bath soak for about 15 minutes so the acid can break down any built up stains, grime, or dirt. After you drain the tub, sprinkle baking soda throughout the tub while it is still wet. You can then use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the acrylic. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your tub when you are finished cleaning.

You can try using a dish soap containing de-greaser or a baking soda and vinegar paste to remove the dried paint from your tub. With either option, use a soft sponge to apply the solution to the paint stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub it away.

First, close your shower door and turn on the hot water in your shower to build up steam and soften the paint. Once softened, you can scrub the paint with rubbing alcohol or a commercial latex paint remover. You can also try a baking soda and vinegar solution or acetone.

Yes, the heat and steam from the water can help soften and loosen the paint, especially if it has already dried. The hotter the water, the better.

You can try soaking the tub in the laundry detergent bath as mentioned above. If the stain is there, you can then try a vinegar and baking soda paste.

I would try a vinegar and baking soda paste. Let it sit on the dried soap paint for a few hours then try to wash off.

Hot or warm water will usually remove fairly fresh paint. If the paint has been allowed to dry, a gentle dish detergent with a degreaser, such as Dawn and a gentle dish washing sponge should get it off.
