STEP 1 - Before
Enamel and Cast-iron baths with porcelain surfaces and vitreous enamel surfaces can become thin and porous over time, absorbing soap, body oils and cleaners. This leads to pin holes, rust chips and exposed metal areas. Acrylic fibreglass baths on the other hand crack when the acrylic skin has worn very thin. Everyday wear and tear can chip and scratch any surface, including basins, toilets and cabinets.

After drying and curing your bath would have a whole new look. The chips, scratches,and rust have disappeared and in their place is a tough, shining surface. That is easy to clean and capable of lasting for many years at the fraction of the cost of total replacement.
