thanks, that's helpful. This is an ancient cast iron tub, probably 100 years old

I doubt I'll be able to get anything as solid as that without spending a lot of time and money.

Aside from anything else it'll weigh a ton and will be a right arsehole to get out and down the stairs so maybe I'm definitely going to re-enamel.

I'll give it a go and if/when I balls it up, I'll get a pro to come and do it properly
