Has anyone here succesfully re coated a bath?

I have a chipped enamel coated steel bath, not old or fancy but would require knocking tiles off the wall to replace.

I have seen epoxy bath recoatibg kits online, has anyone had successful results with those please?

They are only a temporary alternative, you will have to replace the bath or repeat the process in a couple of years. In my opinion not worth the effort of doing it for a steel bath and I think you will regret not doing it properly in the first place. Why would you need to knock tiles off to replace it.

I have repainted an old bath that was in bad condition. Special kit.

It worked very well. No issues.

This was many years ago though.

I re-enamelled a cast bath around ten years back and it went very well and is still looking good as it is a rental i work on from time to time for the landlady. It is, like anything, all about good preparation although you do need to be DIY capable to a degree so take your time getting everything ready and it should turn out alright.

I used an enamel kit and it was applied with a roller and brush for the tricky bits around the taps and outlets. There are plenty out there such as this one....
