Worn Cast Iron Bath Resurfaced
Below are some pictures of a standard sized cast iron bath that we ultimately resurfaced. This was a bath we worked on in Ealing, London. But this style of bath is very common the length and breadth of the country. This style would have been installed in thousands of homes, especially during the 1950s-60s.
These were pretty good baths and they did the job they were designed for just fine. However, literally after decades of use the wear and tear can really start to show.
The bath below is overall in pretty good condition for its age, except at the tap end. The enamel around the waste is wearing thin and there has been a past issue with the taps resulting in stained and etching from the shoulder at the tap end down into the bath itself. You can get an idea from the pictures below:
In such circumstances, resurfacing the bath can give it a new lease of life and take something which has perhaps been letting the rest of the bathroom down into something that lifts the whole room. We are in and out in a day and the bath is usable first thing the next.
Here was how the bath looked when we had finished for the day:
