Painting a bath

[diycooper]

Has anyone had any good results doing this. I know a bath is cheap and easy to fit but I have a scratch on a bath in one of my rented property and it would mean taking out sink, toilet, bath, shower screen just to sort it. Not going to be cost effective ?

Enamel or acrylic? If it's acrylic and not too deep then it may be able to be poilished out, alternatively - http://www.tubbyuk.com/shop/enamel-chip-repair-kit/diy-bath-chip-repair-kit

Enamel and there a deep chip which I was thinking of filling with milliput before paint.

Kit as advised by Madrab, alternative a Cramer kit http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plu...d2711/Cramer+Kitchen+&+Bath+Repair+Kit/p70918

If all else fails, Renubath - coupleof hundred pounds but do an excellent job.

That will fill the chip but then need re painting as its scratched.

Thinking of this but do not know if will work.

Has anyone any experience in this?

Cramer kit comes with filler and white enamel type spray paint. Clean / abrade, fill and smooth, sand, mask area, apply several coats, wait several days before using.

Is that small spray just to blend in the area where you have worked ?

What! You have to wash the outgoing tenant too? I'd get your Tenancy Agreement rewritten

If that's the case then the full re-enameling kit from Tubby is excellent, comes with a chip filler too, used it a couple of times, once on a sink and the other on an old roll top, both finished lovely but as always it's all in the prep.
