Wow, Apricot! Got a photo? Would love to see it. I know WHITE KNIGHT make tile and ceramic paint. I have not had one sprayed, however. Perhaps a painter on Houzz can help...

Thanks for all your comments. I'm adding a photo. Follow-up to some of the comments: tub is in good working order; cost of removal not a factor as I do the work myself; wife wants to replace with rattan etagere with plants & ceramics on shelves. Again, key question: is tub appropriate in powder room off living room, character or not?

Hi, unless you take a bath at least once a week I'd skip the tub. I'd rather enjoy a bigger walk in shower, which is also a lot safer than climbing into a tub to shower. If you have the space instead of a tub and shower I'd consider a double vanity to give you extra storage space. It's a little luxury you will come to enjoy when everyone is getting ready on the morning.

We have decided on having a bath. Just trying to find the narrowest one for the space. We may sell in 5 years, or we may be there 20 years. No timeframe on selling.
