There are a few issues you can handle yourself when it comes to bathtub maintenance. Rust stains for example can usually be removed very easily with a product called wink. It can be found in the laundry section of your local Walmart. It is used to remove rust from clothes but contains an ingredient hydroflouric acid. DO NOT TOUCH the chemical and please read the label. It is in a liquid form with a water consistency and will usually have a squirt cap on the bottle. Squeeze the bottle and squirt the acid on the rust, it should disappear immediately. Then rinse with plenty of cold water down the drain! Do not let the product stay in contact with the surface for more then a few minutes because this acid will etch the surface after about 15 minutes. If it is going to work it will be immediate.
Now if that does not work then you will need professional bathtub resurfacing help. As you can see in this picture the homeowner tried to refinish this bathtub but really all they did was paint the bathtub. The paint (even epoxy paint) can not withstand the constant hot water, soaps, chemicals a tub comes in contact with daily and after a few weeks this is the result.

I was able to strip the old coating off and refinish the tub with an actual refinishing process. Not paint. The result was a great looking bathtub that was ready to use the very next day!
True Bathtub Refinishing is a process of etching the old surface, applying strong chemical cleaners then applying a chemical compound called fusion lock. This is the chemical weld that is hand rubbed so it penetrated into the pores of the old surface that were opened by the etching process. The final step is applying synthetic porcelain with an applicator called an H.V.L.P. machine. This is like an airbrush on steroids but not all H.V.L.P. machines are created equal. I use a non bleeder gun. This means when I release the trigger the air flow stops, this prevents dry dust from blowing against the new surface.
