Russian term or phrase:
растрескавшаяся ванная
English translation:
cracked bathtub
Russian term
растрескавшаяся ванная
I'm not sure what "растрескавшаяся" means in this context:
"Из окон можно было видеть Колумбус авеню, ибо все здания между были ниже рослого классического одиннадцатиэтажного "Эмбасси". Старая, пусть и растрескавшаяся ванная, довершила работу соблазнения. Я соблазнился. Стоило удовольствие 160 долларов в месяц! Баснословно дешево, но для меня это было очень, очень дорого. Камера "Винслоу" с видом на Мэдисон стоила мне 130."
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

chipped/nicked bathtub
E.g.:
A chipped or cracked fiberglass or porcelain bathtub is an eyesore as well as a potential hazard. http://www.essortment.com/home/repairingrepair_sftf.htm
