Looks good in the adverts but bloody difficult in reality. If you're in the
north-west, I can thoroughly recommend this guy
http://www.radiantbaths.co.uk/ He resurfaced a 50-year old cast iron bath
for me and it's absolutely brilliant.

OK, we're possibly even further away, but we had a guy out from
Edinburgh to do ours - £200 and excellent. That was 4 years ago and I
have absolutely no complaints. I wouldn't have tackled it as he had
all the spray gear and face mask, etc.

Ooh you're further than a far thing, but handy to know about the gear
- sounds like it's not such a walk in the park as it maybe first seems.

I've stayed in hotels where the re-coating is flaking off.

Please look at the date of the original post. You are probably now
asking the question to his grand children.

Yes I have

Following an initial problem of a stuck roller which buggered things up
(they sent me a new kit FOC), I "Tubby'd" my bath about 5 years ago. I
still have a good finish which hasn't peeled or deteriorated yet

I think the secret of a successful finish is all down to good
preparation, i.e. a lot of hard work

Yes. Easy to apply. Not hard to get a good finish.
I followed their suggestion of mixing it all, then putting the surplus
in the freezer until needed.

What's difficult is preparing the bath! I tried to remove all the
limescale, but discovered that the "enamel" also comes away.

After about 18 months of use it became apparent that Mr. Tubby wasn't
properly bonded to the underlying surface, if you looked critically.
I left the house over 5 years ago, so can't comment on further longevity.

Aside: (Until then I'd assumed that steel baths were still vitreous
enamelled:-( I'd love to find a current manufacturer of vitreous
enamelled baths, preferably cast iron.)
