Bath Enamel Resurfacing?

Innit!

Strangely enough I have this very minute just emerged from a well earned piping hot eucalyptus herbal bath (I'm clean out of asses milk ). I thought about re-creosoting it earlier in the year, but decided to just leave it rusty, as it scrubs my back a treat.

Fritz Von When Our Mick goes to London to buy his new working togs and green beans, I suugest he work off some flab at a fine set up called the Paris Gym, I'm sure he'd be very welcome, as well at it being one of the smoke's finest, innit

Gary,
You should know, you can't keep a good man down, and imho they certainly don't get any better than Graham!

Why thank you most kindly Oldie old chap, I'm just enjoying some Cambridge Chiver's Lime Maramalade on toast, and watching the New Pope Sheneniginns live on Auntie Beeb. I did wonder though if Our Mick should rush back up to Scotland sharpish (after the bath of course) to ensure there is no Silence next weekend at Soccer matchres, and that only 105 minutes of full throated respectful cheering for the new Pope occurs, otherwise they might all get arrested, under the LAW ?

Some people that we knew some years ago, that had the top flat in a block[ made it almost imposible to replace their Bath, had theirs re enameled and they were fairly pleased with the results,my self well I was not so sure, but then I didn't have the problem of not being able to get a plumber to replace the bath.The thing ,if I remember correctly, that put me off ,was that although it's called re Enameling in reality[I think] it's a two part epoxy resin
coating, looked good to start with, but I'm unconvinced as to how long it would continue to look pristeen.I'm sure someone here will have had it done and then tell me I'm talking a load of cobblers[ not a prompt for you Mick, thank you .So in the end I suppose It's better than a grubby bath ,but not as good as a "real" emamel one [ but most baths seem to be plastic or glass fiber reinforced plastic now anyway]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I remember why I didn't like it ,although they had theirs done professionally the finish was similar to that you get on cheap cars normally referred to as orange peel effect, it also had little spikes on the surface where the compound hadn't self leveled ,didn't seem to bad on the eye ,but it wasn't the eye that caught it , if you get my drift.
Unless your a dab hand with spray painting/ rollering etc, if your going to do it, I would respectfully suggest you get it done professionally, those spikes and ripples can play havoc with your soft bits

Don't do it !!!
I am in the 'building game' and have seen it being done a couple of times - both look good at first, but very quickly deteriorate. Both times it was done by 'specialists' and was not cheap.
Why not change the bath - you can get good quality baths still, and a quality fibre glass bath will not take the heat out of the water so quickly. I know the old ones are nice, but what about a spa bath - what a good way to unwind after a hard day..
You can get jets fitted to almost any plastic of fibre glass bath, and any decent bath shop ought to be able to give you some ideas..
Good luck,
Steve

That is actually very sound advice, though coming from London hardly suprising I suppose. Yes I really enjoy unwinding after a hard days posts editing on this forum amongst others, bloody hard work actually, innit.
