Re-using an old bath
 
I've removed an old iron bath.
What could I use it for
or must I smash it up and take the bits to the tip?

They can be refurbished (enamellwise) hence are quite valuable.

Loads for £10 collection-only on eBay, and lots of unsold ones at
"hopeful" prices (unless it's a roll-top).

Only fancy baths with fancy feet etc seem to be worth more than a tenner, before postage

Is it really iron, or just pressed steel? Roll top cast iron look nice
when taken out of the frame, especially if they have proper claw feet.

Cast iron is *very heavy* and surprisingly difficult to break up with a
sledge hammer. And that won't work at all for steel!

Well you can't have one. We need somewhere to put the coal, stupid.

Easy enough to tell from the shape and finish, once the back side is
exposed. If you can lift one end on your own, it is steel :-)

There is that, however the chap that delivered mine (1800x800 and 55kg)
carried it into the garage single-handed.
