Removing Brass Finish From Bathroom Fixtures

Removing Brass Finish From Bathroom Fixtures

I've stripped a brass ceiling fan down to the silver metal underneath using a drill with a wire brush attachment. The easier thing to do would be to just use Epoxy appliance paint in stainless steel though, it is water resistant & very durable.

Seems like it would be an 'iffy' outcome since I believe chrome is a surface finish itself. I would do a lot of research before trying to strip brass. I am thinking it would be just bare metal underneath if it's not solid brass. Have you considered Rustoleum paint to cover the existing finish? I'm sure you'll get some professional advice from this site. Good luck. Oh - Just FYI - Gold and brass are the latest trend for 2015!! :)

..You CAN spray paint right over that finish, without removing it. You will need to scuff it up a little, clean it, and then you can paint. I have painted bath hardware, and I suggest you check out this post, http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/painted-faucets-shower-enclosure.html. It has details on the ' how -to'....and if your shower enclosure can be taken off , and done outdoors or in a garage....all the better. :)

How's the durability on that?

I have heard you can chemically strip brass plating using acid although I'm not certain which acid but I wonder what the look of the metal underneath would be. Being the metal was intended to be plated there maybe defects unforeseen until the plating is removed. Personally I would lightly sand the plated areas and use a hammered looking paint. I have used Rustoleum hammer look paint on several old exterior light fixtures in an effort to match the existing antique units where replacements were impossible to find. They came out very nice and matched the originals very well. Just a thought Oh, if you do go that route, stay away from the faux chrome spray paints, They dull very easily and clear coating them simply expedites the process.

Shiny brass is making a comeback according to some décor sources. Have only recently been able to get brass taps for one of my half baths.

If you like the appearance of the spot left by the mildew cleaner, why not just wipe the whole thing with it - sounds like it did an exceptional job removing the brass plate with no scrubbing/sanding. If you don't like the appearance after doing it, then you could get some chrome paint (or get creative) and paint it, because it won't be chrome underneath.

I've read posts where people applied oven cleaner to give it a dull silver look. Much better than the brass

• Yeah I just saw a post on Pinterest suggesting the same. I have an old floor lamp that is brass, and I think I may try the oven cleaner idea first. I hope it works. It would definitely safe me some money.

My solution was painstaking, but it was worth all the prep time. First, I covered all the tile, flooring and glass doors with newspapers (taping them together). I used blue painter's tape around the areas I wanted changed out from bright shiny brass to a satin finish. I sanded the brass down a bit, then used Rust-O-Ium spray paint (Satin silver). I even did this for the controls for the shower. After 6 years, it still looks great.

Another solution would be is to find a brass spray paint and fix the spot. Yes you can use Rustoleum spray paint, but it is very messy even with preparation. If you choose to do that make sure the room is well ventilated.

Chrome is the last layer plated so you cannot strip brass and have a chrome finish. Most showers are not chromed and can have a thin anodized finish appearing brass. You might be able to strip the anodized surface but getting it to look like anything shiny like chrome won't happen. There are some auto accessory tapes that are pretty waterproof that you might be able to tone down the brass glow with a color that might compliment your bathroom.

  Pretty florals, give you instant country appeal and of course are perfect for co-ordinating with towels and toiletries, to create a complete look. Ideal perhaps for a guest bathroom, so let your heart rule and say it with flowers.

• Coastal Chic

  

  Transform your bathroom into a coastal retreat with nautical inspired colours and prints. Vibrant tropical fish, classic stripes and marine-inspired blues all evoke the feeling of a trip to the seaside. Whether it's a quirky underwater scene or a subtle nod to the calmness of the sea, this trend is perfect for creating a fresh and inspiring bathroom.

What Is The Size Of A Master Bathroom

What Is The Size Of A Master Bathroom

This article sets out the typical square footage for small, medium and large bathrooms as well as provides statistics on what's the most common size.

In interior design, the terms small, medium, large and huge are used a great deal.

But what do those terms actually mean for each room in terms of sq. ft. Obviously, the square footage for each size category will vary room-to-room. A small kitchen is larger than a small bathroom. In fact, a small kitchen would be as big as a large or huge bathroom.

This article sets out to actually define exactly what the different bathroom sizes are in square footage. We then set out what size is the most popular based on frequency. This information is hopefully helpful with your bathroom remodelling project.

Bathroom Sizes by Sq. Ft. Defined

Under 40 square feet

SMALL: A small bathroom is typically around 35-40 square feet.

While space is definitely at a premium in a small bathroom, decorating this area can be a valuable and exciting interior decorating lesson in maximizing space and utilizing color to liven up the room, but also to visually enlarge it.

41-110 square feet

MEDIUM: At 41-110 square feet, a medium sized bathroom offers just enough room to create a comfortable space.

Roomy enough for a full-sized tub, sink, shower, and toilet, this sized bathroom can be turned into a relaxing haven for you to unwind in after the stress from a busy day. Large enough to meet the needs of your family on a daily basis, this sized bathroom will serve you well.

---

110-210 square feet

LARGE: At 110 to 210 sq. ft., large bathrooms offer copious amounts of space.

Uncommon design elements not typically found in smaller bathrooms are found in larger bathrooms, such as custom bookcases and shelving, large bay windows, and wide expanses of marble or granite flooring.

It is not uncommon to see large bathrooms with bidets, vanity benches, and steam showers.

---

>210 square feet

EXPANSIVE: For many people, an expansive bathroom is the holy grail of primary bathrooms. These bathrooms exceed 210 square feet.

Designed with huge amounts of space, these bathrooms are often bigger than many bedrooms. Common design elements include wall to wall mirroring, personal saunas, separate dressing and powder rooms and more.

With this level of luxury, the sky is truly the limit regarding customization.

Bathroom Size Frequency

What size is the most common?

We wanted to find out.

We analyzed 184,903 primary bathrooms specifically for sizing and determined that large bathrooms are the most common followed by medium, then expansive and finally small. Please keep in mind this analysis pertained to primary bathrooms and not powder rooms. Powder rooms are subset type of bathroom which are generally small or tiny.

Bathroom Size	Frequency/Popularity Rate

Medium	64,873
