Shader Help

I'm having issues applying a marble shader to a bathtub.  But no matter what shader I use it only changes the colour of the tub & doesn't applie the effect (see first image).  I know it's possible to do it as I've seen it done it games & I know they used that bathtub (see second image).  Does anyone know how to successfully apply a shader to bathtubs?

    Is the bath tub UV unwrapped?

    I think this means the item has not been UV mapped. I've encountered items like this before amongst freebies.

    Unfortunately I can't help further frown

    I have no idea if it is.  If it isn't does that affect it?

    Yes, the UV mapping tells a renderer how to wrap an image or texture around the model.

    Here's what your UV mapped view looks like: the overlapping UVs will be a problem if you want to create textures.

    But you can apply shaders: here I applied black marble (top) and white bone (bottom) on a mahogany shelf.

    I take it there's no way to change the UV Map?  Or is there a way where I can find out who made the product so I can reach out to the creator?  Or if anyone knows how to change the UV Map can they help out?

    I would take it into a modelling program and UV unwrap it, and then import as a new object.
