How to remove a bath drain, and bath paint recommendation

[tonton]

I managed to remove it. I tried penetrating oil and a lot of time, but ended up resorting to a grinder and now I need to replace the threaded waste.

Will this shape of recessed hole in the bath accept a standard new style of fitting, or will I need to look for something particular? And/or use putty which looks to be the case on the old fitting?

Yeah - the bath waste hole should be a standard and would normally accept a standard 11/2" bath waste with a ~70mm wide top flange.

Go easy with the bath enamel and rusted area as the worst thing would be to clean it all prior to touching up and then create holes where the rust was, though in saying that maybe best to know if the rust has penetrated right through or not.

Thanks. The rust doesn't seem bad, just surface level. I haven't decided on what paint. It seems like the bath repair kits are aimed more at filling chips and dents, so I might be better off just buying paint separately.
