Does it leak?

If it doesn't, there are companies that will refinish it for, like, $300 or so.. if it leaks, then there's an issue.. Somebody out there should be able to plug the leak with some sort of epoxy, then refinish the whole thing.. that would be the direction I would try first.. if that's a no-go, then maybe replace it with something less expensive.. Its a cool tub, tho, and hopefully you'll be able to salvage it somehow..
